Note: Version compatible with latest GTSAM is being maintained at borglab/gpmp2.
This library is an implementation of GPMP2 (Gaussian Process Motion Planner 2) algorithm described in Motion Planning as Probabilistic Inference using Gaussian Processes and Factor Graphs (RSS 2016). The core library is developed in C++ language with an optional Python 2.7 toolbox. GPMP2 was started at the Georgia Tech Robot Learning Lab, see THANKS for contributors.
- CMake >= 3.0 (Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install cmake
), compilation configuration tool. - Boost >= 1.50 (Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
), portable C++ source libraries. - Anaconda2, virtual environment needed if installing python toolbox.
- GTSAM ==
wrap_export
, a C++ library that implements smoothing and mapping (SAM) framework in robotics and vision. Here we use the factor graph implementations and inference/optimization tools provided by GTSAM.
