Hi Everyone!
I am Akshansh, a sophomore currently pursuing my bachelors in Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
I am interested in the Deep Reinforcement Learning For Grasping and Manipulation Project, and am currently familiarizing myself with the software.
I had a question, and pardon me since it is not related to the specifics of the project.
Robocomp is an Open Source Robotics Framework, that is made to help people in creating robots/simulations (correct me if I'm wrong)
I'm new to Open Source Organisations and Contributing,
I wish to know what motivates a project like this (DRL), like, is it meant as a showcase example in Robocomp.

How to fix this error?

Hello @ZeoDarkflame ,
Regarding your question, the main motivation behind this project can be summarized as follows :
Regarding your question, the main motivation behind this project can be summarized as follows :
- Having an complete perception and grasping pipeline that relies on learning (more specifically Deep Learning).
- Extending the pose estimation and grasping project done last year to have full control on the robot arm (without using the simulator IK solver).
@DarkGeekMS ,
I guess I understand why you are gravitating towards RL, one more thing I would like to ask is, is this project going to include implementation of a few SOTA algorithms and comparing them in this setting, or its about achieving the best possible results on the arm.
Plus, would you recommend that someone like me take up this project, I recently finished studying Policy Gradient Methods, but am yet to read papers on the famous algorithms like A3C, SAC etc.

I think the project timeline won't allow the student to implement more than one algorithm along with its refinement and integration. So, I think it would be better to review the related literature and stick with one methodology.
Moreover, anyone with some RL knowledge and familiarity with basic Deep Learning should be good to go with this project. However, the more knowledge and understanding of literature you have, the more chance you have of landing a good proposal for this one.

Hey guys,
I was following this tutorial (https://github.com/robocomp/robocomp/blob/development/doc/DSR-start.md)
But in the section where we are supposed to navigate to idserver folder and make it (step 3 and step 4), I am getting this error

you can follow the steps from here https://github.com/robocomp/robocomp/tree/development/classes/dsr#installation
@Kanav-7 @orensbruli @vaibhawkhemka Hello,while running the test component for my client part. I came across this error. The error says model not placed in correct directory but actually I placed that model in assets folder and also I gone through the code whether the path is mentioned correctly or not. Everything seems fine but I can't understand why this error is popping up. Do we need to change the name of the file or should i need to do anything else
I have a doubt regarding LearnBlock that does it uses
robocomp-robolab/components? I am a little confused about that since LearnBlock contains learnbot_dsl/components, but previously GSoC students added components in robocomp-robolab/components for eg, emotionrecognition. Any resource regarding LearnBlock will also be helpful.

The main idea is to put in robocomp-robolab any component that could be useful for more than one project. And keep the components tightly related to a project in their own components folder and repository...
I was looking at the project for Depth Estimation using a Monocular RGB camera, does RoboComp have a good dataset or the project will use others like the one from Kitti?
@umerjamil16 Hello,
I'm currently considering these two papers :
I'm currently considering these two papers :
- https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.04499
- https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.00982
There are also plenty of review papers out there that can help you get started.
However, of course, every candidate is free to propose other solutions of choice, with justification.
@JackFrost67 Hello,
We are currently considering open-source datasets. Also, they should be more related to indoor activities, unlike KITTI.
Some options are :

Some options are :
- YCB Videos Dataset : mainly used for pose estimation but contains depth information as well.
- NYU Depth Dataset : a commonly-used dataset for indoor segmentation and depth estimation.
I am getting this error while building robocomp.
When I run rcis simpleworld.xml command in terminal ....why robot is not moving , it is an static position. Pleae help me to sort out from this.
Thank You.
