Initialize a flexcomp object in PyMJCF #445

sachinkundu · 2023-12-21T11:14:39Z

Mujoco 3.0 introduced flexcomp object for modelling deformable obejcts.

However trying to create a Prop using

class Cloth(prop.Prop):
    """Simple cloth prop that consists of a MuJoco flexcomp."""

    def _build(self, *args, **kwargs):
        del args, kwargs
        mjcf_root = mjcf.RootElement()

        mjcf_root.extension.add('plugin', plugin="mujoco.elasticity.shell")

        # Props need to contain a body called prop_root
        mjcf_root.worldbody.add('body', name='prop_root')

        cloth_object = mjcf.from_file('cloth.xml')
        mjcf_root.attach(cloth_object)

        super()._build('cloth', mjcf_root)

Errors out as flexcomp is not recoginzed as part of schema.

I modified schema.xml(which is part of mjcf under dm_control) and after adding all the tags and attibutes that I am using in an xml such as below

<mujoco model="cloth">
    <extension>
        <plugin plugin="mujoco.elasticity.shell"/>
    </extension>

    <worldbody>
        <body name="cloth">
            <flexcomp type="grid" count="10 5 1" spacing=".025 .025 .025" mass="0.1"
                      name="cloth" radius="0.001">
                <contact condim="6" solref="0.001"/>
                <edge equality="true" damping="0.1"/>
                <plugin plugin="mujoco.elasticity.shell">
                    <config key="poisson" value="0"/>
                    <config key="thickness" value="10e-3"/>
                    <!--Units are in Pa (SI)-->
                    <config key="young" value="3e4"/>
                </plugin>
            </flexcomp>
        </body>
    </worldbody>
</mujoco>

I can get the xml to be parsed and get a Prop object. I looked at composite as an example and copied over the spec as described in mujoco XML reference.

However I cannot get the simulation to run and it fails at this line self._qp_mapper = _CartesianVelocityMapper(qp_params) in dm_robotics/moma/effectors/cartesian_6d_velocity_effector.py. The error is Process finished with exit code 139 (interrupted by signal 11:SIGSEGV) which just sounds like it crashed

I cannot understand why. The whole file which I am running is

Which is just a modification of the basic example in [dm_robotics_panda] (https://github.com/JeanElsner/dm_robotics_panda)

Commenting out creating of Cloth and adding to props list works fine.

I am having a similar issue trying to load a flexcomp object with dm_control PyMJCF.

I have this xml file with my flexcomp object taken from here.

I try to compile this using PyMJCF in this code here:

from dm_control import mjcf

mjcf_root = mjcf.from_path("flag_flex.xml")

physics = mjcf.Physics.from_mjcf_model(mjcf_root)

I get this error below:

ValueError: Line 39: error while parsing element <edge>: during initialization of attribute 'equality' of element <edge>: Expect an integer value: got true

yuvaltassa · 2024-01-24T11:59:42Z

The documentation and the code seem to agree that this is a boolean, @quagla any idea what's going on here?

adityadutt09 · 2024-06-05T06:59:05Z

I am facing a similar issue. It seem's like dm control does not have support for flexcomp just yet? Just wanted to make sure that this is the case or if there's something I am missing. Here's the code I was trying to implement:
` bag_xml = """

  <edge equality="true" damping="0.1" />

    <config key="poisson" value="0" />
    <config key="thickness" value="8e-3" />

  </plugin>
</flexcomp>

Any updates regarding this issue? I'm also facing a very similar issue.
