-====== Pepper robot shopping assistant (tutorial in construction) ======+====== Pepper Robot Shopping Assistant ======
  
-===== This is an example section title ===== +===== Setting Up The Workspace =====
-==== This is then a subsection ====+
  
-  This is a bit of code+This process assumes you have already installed CRAM on your laptop. If not, please visit the installation section.  
 +If you are using the image version of CRAM, please follow the next section. Please note that Ubuntu 16.04 was used for this project. 
 + 
 +==== VM Set Up ==== 
 + 
 +Open the terminal by just typing ctrl+alt+t and then type and execute the following command: 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade  
 +</code> 
 + 
 +Let’s update ROS and CRAM components. In the terminal type and execute the following commands: 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +$ sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-joint-state-publisher-gui 
 +$ sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-pepper-meshes    
 +</code> 
 + 
 +**Please note that during this process, a window will pop up, and you must accept the license. Press tab key to select 0K then Yes.** 
 + 
 +Install ros-control and roslisp_common package 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +$ sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-ros-control ros-kinetic-ros-controllers 
 +$ sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-roslisp-common   
 +</code> 
 + 
 +At this point, we need an older version of CRAM. We need a specific branch of the CRAM architecture. Therefore, if you have some work done in the current version of CRAM, please create a backup or commit your current branch before you proceed. 
 + 
 +Run the following in your terminal. 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +$ cd ~/workspace/ros/src/cram 
 +$ git pull 
 +$ git checkout 3f5b268504cb5226709daa7a5d52364c2b05a93d 
 +$ git branch  
 +</code> 
 + 
 +Use the last command to confirm that you are using a branch named **3f5b268**. 
 + 
 +==== Native Set Up ==== 
 + 
 +If you did a native installation of ROS and CRAM, you would most likely install all the necessary components. However, you have to go through the setup process for the VM to be sure everything is setup. Otherwise, skip to the part where you update the repository and change the branch, then you are set to go. 
 + 
 +Now let's begin. 
 + 
 +First, we need to set up our Robot and Shelf models to upload them to the ROS parameter server. Through that, we can visualize these models in RViz and the Bullet world.  
 + 
 +Let's begin by creating package in the src of our ROS workspace by running the command below in a terminal. 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +$ cd ~/path-to-workspace/ros/src 
 +$ catkin_create_pkg pepper_description 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +The terminal should be looking like the sample below. 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +Created file pepper_description/package.xml 
 +Created file pepper_description/CMakeLists.txt 
 +Successfully created files in /home/path-to-workspace/ros/src/pepper_description. Please adjust the values in package.xml. 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +Next, we are going to adjust the values in the //**package.xml**// file.  Here we want to add all the project dependencies to this file. Replace everything in the file with the code below. 
 + 
 +<code XML> 
 +<?xml version="1.0"?> 
 +<package format="2"> 
 +  <name>pepper_description</name> 
 +  <version>1.0.0</version> 
 +  <description>The pepper_description package</description> 
 + 
 +  <maintainer email="pepper@todo.todo">pepper</maintainer> 
 + 
 +  <license>TODO</license> 
 + 
 +  <buildtool_depend>catkin</buildtool_depend> 
 + 
 +  <build_depend>urdf</build_depend> 
 +  <build_depend>controller_manager</build_depend> 
 +  <build_depend>joint_state_controller</build_depend> 
 +  <build_depend>robot_state_publisher</build_depend>
      
 +  <build_export_depend>urdf</build_export_depend>
 +
 +  <exec_depend>urdf</exec_depend>
 +  <exec_depend>controller_manager</exec_depend>
 +  <exec_depend>joint_state_controller</exec_depend>
 +  <exec_depend>robot_state_publisher</exec_depend>
 +
 +</package>
 +</code>
 +
 +Next, we edit the //**CMakeList.txt**// file. Here we need to tell catkin which other packages are required for building our package. Add the same list of packages from the package.xml file to the //find_package// section of the CmakeList.txt file. It should look like the sample below.
 +
 +<code>
 +find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
 +  urdf
 +  controller_manager
 +  joint_state_controller
 +  robot_state_publisher
 +)
 +</code>
 +
 +Rename the file "//PATH-TO-YOUR-WORKSPACE/ros/src/iai_maps/iai_maps/maps/map-2017-11-ease-demo.pgm//" to "//PATH-TO-YOUR-WORKSPACE/ros/src/iai_maps/iai_maps/maps/map-2017-11-ease-demo-old.pgm//". Download the file "map-2017-11-ease-demo.pgm" from [[https://github.com/danricky/cram-pepper/raw/master/map-2017-11-ease-demo.pgm|here]] and replace the old file with this new one. Here we are replacing the default map with our map.
 +
 +Next, open this file: "//PATH-TO-YOUR-WORKSPACE/ros/src/cram/cram_common/cram_robot_pose_gaussian_costmap/src/current-pose-generator-and-pose-validator.lisp//" in any text editor.
 +
 +Comment out the following code by putting semi-colon in front of them. It should be on line 40 - 43.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +; (desig:register-location-generator
 +;  3 robot-current-pose-tf-generator
 +; "We should move the robot only if we really need to move. Try the
 +;  current robot pose as a first solution.")
 +
 +</code>
 +
 +Now we can compile. Run the code below.
 +
 +<code>
 +$ cd .. && catkin_make
 +</code>
 +
 +===== Uploading Models to the Parameter Server =====
 +
 +After successfully building the package, we need to add the models we will be uploading to the ROS parameter server. Change directory to the pepper_description package, and let's create three folders, namely //launch//, //meshes//, and //urdf//.
 +
 +Download [[https://github.com/danricky/cram-pepper/tree/master/pepper_description/urdf|these]] files and put them in the URDF folder. Download [[https://github.com/danricky/cram-pepper/tree/master/pepper_description/meshes|these]] meshes and put them in the meshes folder. Download the [[https://github.com/danricky/cram-pepper/blob/master/pepper_description/launch/upload.launch|upload.launch]] file and put it in the launch folder. 
 +
 +Now let’s explain the code in the //upload.launch// file.
 +
 +<code>
 +<include file="$(find iai_maps)/launch/map.launch" />
 +</code>
 +
 +This line uploads the occupancy map for navigation. It is the environment or free space for the robot to move around.
 +
 +<code>
 +<param name="robot_description" textfile="$(find pepper_description)/urdf/pepper.urdf" />
 +<param name="shelf_description" command="$(find xacro)/xacro --inorder '$(find pepper_description)/urdf/dm_shelves.urdf.xacro'" />
 +</code>
 +
 +These two lines are the representation of the Pepper robot and shelves in the URDF. Take note of the name parameter. We will need it for Rviz visualization.
 +
 +<code>
 +<node name="joint_state_publisher" pkg="joint_state_publisher" type="joint_state_publisher" ></node>
 +  <node name="shelf_state_publisher" pkg="joint_state_publisher" type="joint_state_publisher" >
 +      <remap from="robot_description" to="shelf_description"/>
 +</node>
 +</code>
 +
 +
 +The next line is a ROS node to publish the robot and the shelf joint state values to make them available to other nodes.
 +
 +
 +<code>
 +<node pkg="robot_state_publisher" type="state_publisher" name="robot_state_publisher" />
 +  <node pkg="robot_state_publisher" type="state_publisher" name="shelf_tf_state_publisher">
 +    <param name="publish_frequency" value="25"/>
 +    <remap from="robot_description" to="shelf_description" />
 +</node>
 +</code>
 +
 +This line is also a ROS node to publish the robot state values of the robot and the shelves.
 +
 +<code>
 +<node pkg="tf" type="static_transform_publisher" name="pepper_wrt_map_tf" args="0 0 0 0 0 0 /map /base_link 25"></node>
 +<node pkg="tf" type="static_transform_publisher" name="shelf_wrt_map_tf" args="0 0 0 0 0 0 /map /room_link 25"></node>
 +</code>
 +
 +The last two lines are nodes to publish transform frames with respect to the map.
 +
 +Save and compile your workspace.
 +
 +Now let's upload the models to the ROS parameter server. Run the code below.
 +
 +<code>
 +$ roslaunch pepper_description upload.launch
 +</code>
 +
 +Open another terminal and open RViz.
 +
 +<code>
 +$ rviz
 +</code>
 +
 +You should see a window like the one below.
 +
 +{{ :tutorials:intermediate:empty_rivz.png?nolink&800 |}}
 +
 +Now we need to setup RViz so we can visualize our robot and shelves. RViz contains various display modules for visualizing multiple components of a robot. Please note that RViz cannot be used for simulations, only for visualizations.
 +
 +Click on the Add button, as shown in the image below.
 +
 +{{ :tutorials:intermediate:addmodule.png?nolink&500 |}}
 +
 +A dialog box opens where we select the display modules we want to add as shown below. In our case, we will add two of the //RobotModel//. RViz does not support quantity specification, so we must do the add process twice.
 +
 +{{ :tutorials:intermediate:adddialog.png?nolink&400 |}}
 +
 +Afterward, you should have the display column looking like the image below.
 +
 +{{ :tutorials:intermediate:displaycolumn.png?nolink&400 |}}
 +
 +Now we are ready to configure the scene. First, change the "Fixed Frame" parameter to "map". You must select it from a dropdown menu when you click that space. If RViz automatically chooses it for you, then move on to the next configuration.
 +
 +The next one is the //“RobotModel”// module. Remember the name parameter from the launch file; this is where we will be using it. When you drop down the first //“RobotModel”//, you should see //"Robot_description"// among the parameters. The first //"RobotModel"// parameter should have "//shelf_description//," and the second //"RobotModel"// should have //"robot_description"//
 +Note that these are based on the designer’s preferences. The order can be changed at will. However, make sure the name in the launch file is the same one used in RViz.
 +Your final display column should look like the image below.
 +
 +{{ :tutorials:intermediate:finaldisplay.png?nolink&400 |}}
 +
 +And your scene should look like the image below. You should see the robot at the center of the map with the shelves in front of it.
 +
 +{{ :tutorials:intermediate:finalscene.png?nolink&800 |}}
 +
 +===== CRAM_Pepper Description =====
 +
 +We want to visualize our robot and shelves in the CRAM bullet world, but first, we need to map the various parts of the URDF to their functionality. CRAM needs to know which part of the robot is meant to do what.
 +
 +Before we begin, let’s create a directory for the entire project. Run the following code to create the following directories PATH-TO-YOUR-WORKSPACE/ros/src/cram/cram_pepper if none exists.
 +
 +<code>
 +$  mkdir -p path-to-your-workspace/ros/src/cram/cram_pepper
 +</code>
 +
 +Change directory to "cram_pepper."
 +
 +<code>
 +$ cd path-to-your-workspace/ros/src/cram/cram_pepper 
 +</code>
 +
 +Now let us create a ROS package called cram_pepper_description.
 +
 +<code>
 +$ catkin_create_pkg cram_pepper_description
 +</code>
 +
 +Your results should look like below.
 +
 +<code>
 +Created file cram_pepper_description/CMakeLists.txt
 +Created file cram_pepper_description/package.xml
 +Successfully created files in path-to-your-workspace/ros/src/cram/cram_pepper/cram_pepper_description. Please adjust the values in package.xml.
 +</code>
 +
 +Since we have already done an example, let’s go ahead and replace everything in the package.xml with the following:
 +
 +<code XML>
 +<package format="2">
 +  <name>cram_pepper_description</name>
 +  <version>0.7.0</version>
 +  <description>
 +    Prolog predicates describing pepper robot
 +  </description>
 +  <author>Your Name</author>
 +  <maintainer email="youremail@mail.com">Your Name</maintainer>
 +  <license>BSD</license>
 +
 +  <buildtool_depend>catkin</buildtool_depend>
 +
 +  <depend>cram_prolog</depend>
 +  <depend>cram_robot_interfaces</depend>
 +  <depend>cram_location_costmap</depend>
 +</package> 
 +</code>
 +
 +The last three lines in the package tag are libraries we will need for describing Pepper in CRAM. The first will help us write Prolog predicates, the next one will help us map the URDF to the actual functionality of the robot in the Bullet world, and the last one will help us use cost maps to generate locations in the Bullet world.
 +
 +Next, let us replace everything in the //CmakeLists.txt// with the following:
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
 +project(cram_pepper_description)
 +find_package(catkin REQUIRED)
 +catkin_package()
 +</code>
 +
 +This cleanup makes our file easy to read.
 +
 +Now let’s compile to be sure everything is correctly setup. If you run into any errors, you might want to go back and recheck every step.
 +
 +==== Creating an ASDF system ====
 +
 +By now, you should have done the beginner tutorial, which explains all about .asd files. Therefore let's create one for our cram_pepper_description. Create a file //cram-pepper-description.asd// and put the following code in it.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(defsystem cram-pepper-description
 +  :depends-on (cram-prolog
 +               cram-robot-interfaces
 +               cram-location-costmap ; for robot-specific costmap metadata
 +               )
 +  :components
 +  ((:module "src"
 +    :components
 +    ((:file "package")
 +     (:file "general-knowledge" :depends-on ("package"))
 +     (:file "arms" :depends-on ("package"))
 +     (:file "neck" :depends-on ("package"))
 +     ))))
 +</code>
 +
 +Next, we have to create the files listed in the components section in our //src// folder. However, we don't have an //src// folder at this point, so we go ahead and create one in our //cram_pepper_description// package.
 +
 +<code>
 +$ mkdir src
 +</code>
 +
 +Let's create the files; //package.lisp//, //general-knowledge.lisp//, //arms.lisp//, and //neck.lisp// in the source folder. These files represent the various parts of the robot. This division is just a design decision, so we can easily read it.
 +
 +Let’s define our package in the "//package.lisp//" file with the following code.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(in-package :cl-user)
 +
 +(defpackage cram-pepper-description
 +  (:nicknames #:pepper-descr)
 +  (:use #:common-lisp #:cram-prolog #:cram-robot-interfaces)
 +  (:export #:pepper))
 +</code>
 +
 +Again, refer to the beginner tutorial to understand what is happening here.
 +
 +Now we need to describe the Pepper robot semantically. We need to decide how we define each part of the robot in the package using the files we just created. This part of the setup has been explained in [[tutorials:advanced:new-robot|Introducing a new robot to CRAM]]. Therefore, we will jump straight into what to do in our case.
 +
 +In the “//neck.lisp//” file, copy the following code, and paste it in there.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(in-package :pepper-descr)
 +
 +(defparameter *neck-good-looking-down-state*
 +  '(("HeadYaw" 0.00)
 +    ("HeadPitch" 0.62)))
 +
 +(defparameter *neck-good-looking-left-state*
 +  '(("HeadYaw" 0.86)
 +    ("HeadPitch" 0.00)))
 +
 +(defparameter *neck-parking-joint-states*
 +  '(("HeadYaw" 0.00)
 +    ("HeadPitch" -0.00)))
 +
 +
 +(def-fact-group pepper-neck-facts (robot-neck-links
 +                                 robot-neck-joints
 +                                 robot-neck-base-link
 +                                 robot-joint-states
 +                                 camera-in-neck-ee-pose)
 +
 +  (<- (robot-neck-links pepper
 +                        "Neck"
 +                        "Head"))
 +
 +  (<- (robot-neck-joints pepper
 +                         "HeadYaw"
 +                         "HeadPitch"))
 +
 +  (<- (robot-joint-states pepper :neck ?there-is-only-one-neck :away ?joint-states)
 +    (symbol-value *neck-parking-joint-states* ?joint-states))
 +
 +  (<- (robot-joint-states pepper :neck ?there-is-only-one-neck :forward ?joint-states)
 +    (symbol-value *neck-parking-joint-states* ?joint-states))
 +
 +  (<- (robot-joint-states pepper :neck ?there-is-only-one-neck :down ?joint-states)
 +    (symbol-value *neck-good-looking-down-state* ?joint-states))
 +
 +  (<- (robot-joint-states pepper :neck ?there-is-only-one-neck :down-left ?joint-states)
 +    (symbol-value *neck-good-looking-left-state* ?joint-states)))
 +    
 +</code>
 +
 +This code defines the neck structure of the Pepper robot in CRAM. We are telling the CRAM architecture the functionality of the neck based on the given URDF.
 +
 +Next, we need to do the same for the arms of the robot. Again, copy the following code and paste it in the "//arms.lisp//" file.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(in-package :pepper-descr)
 +
 +(defparameter *standard-to-pepper-gripper-transform*
 +  (cl-transforms-stamped:make-identity-transform))
 +
 +(defparameter *left-parking-joint-states*
 +  '(("LShoulderPitch" 1.08)
 +    ("LShoulderRoll" 0.51)
 +    ("LElbowYaw" -0.15)
 +    ("LElbowRoll" -0.79)
 +    ("LWristYaw" 0.00)))
 +
 +(defparameter *right-parking-joint-states*
 +  '(("RShoulderPitch" 1.08)
 +    ("RShoulderRoll" -0.53)
 +    ("RElbowYaw" 0.0)
 +    ("RElbowRoll" 0.79)
 +    ("RWristYaw" 0.0)))
 +
 +(defparameter *left-pointing-joint-states*
 +  '(("LShoulderPitch" -0.46)
 +    ("LShoulderRoll" 0.99)
 +    ("LElbowYaw" -1.18)
 +    ("LElbowRoll" -0.01)
 +    ("LWristYaw" 0.00)))
 +
 +(defparameter *right-pointing-joint-states*
 +  '(("RShoulderPitch" -0.41)
 +    ("RShoulderRoll" -1.00)
 +    ("RElbowYaw" 0.50)
 +    ("RElbowRoll" 0.01)
 +    ("RWristYaw" 0.91)))
 +
 +(defparameter *straight-pointing-joint-states*
 +  '(("RShoulderPitch" -0.13)
 +    ("RShoulderRoll" -0.37)
 +    ("RElbowYaw" 0.46)
 +    ("RElbowRoll" 0.69)
 +    ("RWristYaw" 1.82)))
 +
 +
 +(def-fact-group pepper-arm-facts (end-effector-link

 +  (<- (arm-links pepper :right ("RShoulder"

 +

 +  (<- (gripper-joint pepper :right "right_gripper_joint"))

 +  (<- (robot-joint-states pepper :arm :right :park ?joint-states)
 +    (symbol-value *right-parking-joint-states* ?joint-states)))
 +</code>
 +
 +Similarly, we describe the joints and links of the arms of the Pepper robot. We establish certain positions that will be relevant to the execution of our tasks.
 +
 +Finally, we need to provide a general knowledge of the robot. We do this in the "//general-knowledge.lisp//" file. Once again, copy the following code and paste it in the file.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(in-package :pepper-descr)
 +
 +(def-fact-group pepper-metadata (robot

 +
 +In this file, we provide the robot's name, robot base-frame, and other necessary details. We also offer some features about the costmaps we will be using for our implementation.
 +
 +Now let’s see if we can load our cram package in Emacs. 
 +
 +First, run the following in your terminal.
 +
 +<code>
 +$ roslaunch pepper_description upload.launch
 +</code>
 +
 +Next,
 +
 +<code>
 +$ roslisp_repl
 +</code>
 +
 +In the Emacs, run the following to verify that there is no error in our setup.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +CL-USER> (ros-load:load-system "cram_pepper_description" :cram-pepper-description)
 +</code>
 +
 +Load the package
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +CL-USER> (in-package :pepper-descr)
 +</code>
 +
 +If successful, you should see the following in red.
 +<code lisp>
 +#<PACKAGE "CRAM-PEPPER-DESCRIPTION">
 +</code>
 +
 +To be able to visualize our robot and shelves, let's set up our demo folder.
 +
 +===== CRAM Pepper Demo =====
 +
 +Just like the //cram_pepper_description//, let’s create a new package in //cram_pepper// called //cram_pepper_demo//
 +
 +First, change the directory to "//cram_pepper//."
 +
 +<code>
 +$ cd path-to-your-workspace/ros/src/cram/cram_pepper 
 +</code>
 +
 +Now let us create a ROS package called cram_pepper_demo
 +
 +<code>
 +$ catkin_create_pkg cram_pepper_demo
 +</code>
 +
 +Your results should look like below.
 +
 +<code>
 +Created file cram_pepper_demo/CMakeLists.txt
 +Created file cram_pepper_demo/package.xml
 +Successfully created files in path-to-your-workspace/ros/src/cram/cram_pepper/cram_pepper_demo. Please adjust the values in package.xml.

 +
 +Now let’s compile to be sure everything is correctly setup. If you run into any errors, you might want to go back and recheck every step.
 +
 +==== Creating an ASDF system for the cram_pepper_demo ====
 +
 +Create a file //cram-pepper-demo.asd// and put the following code in it.

 +     (:file "shelf-prolog" :depends-on ("package"))
 +     ))))
 +</code>
 +
 +Next, we have to create the files listed in the components section in our src folder. However, we don't have an src folder, so we go ahead and create one in our cram_pepper_demo package.
 +
 +<code>
 +$ mkdir src
 +</code>
 +
 +Let’s create the files; //package.lisp//, //setup.lisp//, //projection-demo.lisp//, //cram-plans//, and //shelf-prolog.lisp// in the src folder. Like the previous package setup, this is a design decision for easy reading.
 +
 +Now, let’s define our package in the "package.lisp" file with the following code.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(in-package :cl-user)
 +
 +(defpackage cram-pepper-description
 +  (:nicknames #:pepper-descr)
 +  (:use #:common-lisp #:cram-prolog #:cram-robot-interfaces)
 +  (:export #:pepper))
 +</code>
 +
 +For the rest of the files, make sure to have the following line of code at the very top of the file and save.
 +
 +<code>
 +(in-package :demo)
 +</code>
 +
 +Next, download the resource folder from [[https://github.com/danricky/cram-pepper/tree/master/cram_pepper_demo/resource|here]] and put the entire folder in the cram_pepper_demo package folder. The folder contains our products for the shop.
 +
 +Compile the project, make sure to have the "roslaunch" running at the background, and open Emacs.
 +
 +In Emacs, let’s load our pepper demo package.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +CL-USER> (ros-load:load-system "cram_pepper_demo" :cram-pepper-demo)
 +</code>
 +
 +Load the package
 +

 +
 +If successful, you should see the following in red.
 +
 +<code lisp>

 +</code>
 +
 +Now let's update our setup file to automatically setup our bullet world and import the shelves and the Pepper robot. Instead of manually setting up every single element in the environment, we want to save time by running only one line of code. Therefore, copy the following code and paste it into the "setup.lisp" file.

 +
 +Load the demo package, and this time run the following code.

 +
 +Your results should appear like below in red.

 +
 +Right-click on the results and select inspect.
 +
 +A window appears below the current working window. It presents the CRAM-BULLET-REASONING with the various slots. Click on the hash-table corresponding to the objects slot highlighted in green in the image below.
 +
 +{{ :tutorials:intermediate:hash.png?nolink&600 |}}
 +
 +Clicking on it will present the objects present in the bullet-world. We can see that we have our floor, the shelves (kitchen), and Pepper from the image below.
 +
 +{{ :tutorials:intermediate:contents.png?nolink&600 |}}
 +
 +Note that for most results in red, you can inspect it—hit q to exit/close that window. In the future, you can use this method to check the objects in the bullet-world.
 +
 +Now let’s try and move the robot 2 meters forward (x-axis). Let’s run the following code in the Emacs window.
 +
 +<code lisp>

 +The code above imports an object of a mesh type with a name “my-cereal1”, pose <nowiki>"((4.1 0 1.03) (0 0 1 1))"</nowiki>, a mass of “0”, a color of “(1 0 0)” (thus red), and category of the product is breakfast-cereal.
 +
 +You should see a red box of cereal in front of the robot, like the image below.

 +
 +Save and compile the package. With the bring-up still running on the background, restart Emacs, load the cram-pepper-demo package, and load up the scene. Let’s spawn all the products. Run the code below.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +DEMO> (spawn-products-one)
 +</code>
 +
 +Your results should look like below.
 +
 +{{ :tutorials:intermediate:fullscene.png?nolink&600 |}}
 +
 +So far, so good.
 +
 +===== Pack Arms =====
 +
 +At this point, we don’t want our robot arm looking a zombie. So let’s naturally park the arms.
 +Let's create another function in our "cram-plans.lisp" file. Copy the following code and paste it in the "cram-plans.lisp" file.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(defun park-arms()
 + (cram-executive:perform
 + (desig:an action
 + (type positioning-arm)
 + (left-configuration park)
 + (right-configuration park))))
 +</code>
 +
 +Save and compile the package and set up the scene. Let's run our new function.
 +
 +If we run the function in the Emacs terminal, we will get an error like the image below.
 +
 +{{ :tutorials:intermediate:errorparkarms.png?nolink&600 |}}
 +
 +This error means that we need to specify which platform we want to run the code. That is, whether on a real robot or a simulated robot. Therefore, we need to wrap "//cram-urdf-projection:with-simulated-robot//" around the function call, as shown below.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +DEMO> (cram-urdf-projection:with-simulated-robot (park-arms))
 +</code>
 +
 +Your results should look like below.
 +
 +{{ :tutorials:intermediate:parkarm.png?nolink&600 |}}
 +
 +===== Import Human =====
 +
 +Now let’s bring in the human avatar. Let’s create a function for that as well. Append the following code to the “cram-plans.lisp” file.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(defun spawn-human()
 + (prolog:prolog '(and (btr:bullet-world ?world)
 + (assert (btr:object ?world :mesh :my-human ((-1 0 1) (0 0 1 1))
 + :mass 0.2 :color (1 1 0) :mesh :body :scale 0.3)))))
 +</code>
 +
 +Let's save and compile the package. To do this without having to leave Emacs, we have to open the “cram-plans.lisp” file in Emacs. Click on File→Open File. In the pop-up Dialog box, navigate the "cram-plans.lisp" file in your workspace. Open it and hit Ctrl + c and Ctrl + k to compile the entire file. If there is any error, you will be alerted to that. To return to the previous buffer, click on "Buffers" at the top menu and select "*slime-repl sbcl**." In this current window, you will see the success of the file compilation. Now we can run the newly created function. Let's call the function. Enter the following code: 
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +DEMO> (spawn-human)
 +</code>
 +
 +Your results should be like this, and you should see a yellow human behind the robot.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(((?WORLD . #<CRAM-BULLET-REASONING:BT-REASONING-WORLD {100538FAF3}>))
 + . #S(CRAM-UTILITIES::LAZY-CONS-ELEM
 +      :GENERATOR #<CLOSURE (LAMBDA () :IN CRAM-UTILITIES:LAZY-MAPCAR)
 +                   {100643B36B}>))
 +</code>
 +
 +{{ :tutorials:intermediate:human.png?nolink&600 |}}
 +
 +Now that we have our human in the scene, we need to reposition the robot to face the human. It may be perceived as rude for the robot to turn the back to the human. 
 +
 +===== Reposition Robot =====
 +
 +To reposition the robot, let's add the following function to the "cram-plans.lisp" file.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(defun reposition-robot()
 + (prolog:prolog '(and (btr:bullet-world ?world)
 + (assert (btr:object-pose ?world cram-pepper-description:pepper
 + ((0 0 0) (0 0 1 0)))))))
 +</code>
 +
 +Save and compile the file. Run the function in the Emacs window.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +DEMO> (reposition-robot)
 +</code>
 +
 +Your results should look like the following.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(((?WORLD . #<CRAM-BULLET-REASONING:BT-REASONING-WORLD {1012594BE3}>))
 + . #S(CRAM-UTILITIES::LAZY-CONS-ELEM
 +      :GENERATOR #<CLOSURE (LAMBDA () :IN CRAM-UTILITIES:LAZY-MAPCAR)
 +                   {100FD17F5B}>))
 +</code>
 +
 +{{ :tutorials:intermediate:reporobot.png?nolink&600 |}}
 +
 +Now we are ready to perform some functions.
 +
 +Since we are creating a shopping assistant, the robot will have to get some information about the product the human is looking for. The code below is some fundamental interactions the robot uses to get the needed information. Copy the code and paste in the “projection-demo.lisp” file.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +;; Menu functions start
 +(defun menu-one()
 + (princ "Hello my name is Pepper and how may I help you?
 + Please use the number corresponding to your request.
 +
 + ------Select a number-----
 + 1. Help me find a product.
 + 2. I just wanted to say hi."))
 +
 +(defun menu-two()
 + (princ "What do you want?
 + Please use the number corresponding to your request.
 +
 + ------Select a number-----
 + 1. Cereal.
 + 2. Milk.
 + 3. I think I am fine."))
 +</code>
 +
 +Now let's create a function called "interaction" which will call all the functions we have created so far. It will also house all other functions that will be creating in the future. Copy the code below and paste it in the "projection-demo.lisp" file.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +;; Interaction execution
 +(defun interaction()
 + (cram-urdf-projection:with-simulated-robot (park-arms))
 + (reposition-robot)
 + (menu-one)
 +) ;;interaction close brackets
 +</code>
 +
 +We want to run the "spawn-human" function whenever we run the "spawn-products-one" function. Therefore, let's add the "spawn-human" function at the end of the "spawn-products-one" function. The last line of your new "spawn-products-one" function should look like the code below.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(defun spawn-products-one ()
 +
 + …..
 + (prolog:prolog '(and (btr:bullet-world ?world)
 + (assert (btr:object ?world :mesh :my-bar1 ((1.5 -1.4 0.77) (0 0 1 1))
 + :mass 0 :color (0.5 0 0.1) :mesh :denkmit))))
 + (prolog:prolog '(and (btr:bullet-world ?world)
 + (assert (btr:object ?world :mesh :my-bar2 ((1.8 -1.4 0.77) (0 0 1 1))
 + :mass 0 :color (0.5 0 0.1) :mesh :denkmit))))
 +
 + (spawn-human)
 + )
 +</code>
 +
 +Now let's compile and restart our environment so we can test our new functions and modifications.
 +To reinitialize the entire scene, run the code below, and compile the two files we modified without leaving Emacs.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(init-projection)
 +</code>
 +
 +After the reinitialization and file compilations, let's test the functions. First, run the "spawn-products-one" function, so we verify that the function spawns the human as well. If it doesn't work for you, please go back and make sure that all you didn't miss any step.
 +
 +Next, run the "interaction" function, as shown below. This function should park the robot's arms, reposition the robot to face the human, present the menu one, and then end.
 +So far, so good.
 +
 +Now let’s take user input and store it. Copy the code below and paste it after the “menu-one” function call in the “interaction” function. 
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(setf response (read t))
 +
 + ;;first conditional statement start
 + (cond ((= response 1)
 + (menu-two)
 +
 +  ;; second conditional statement start
 +
 + ;;second conditional statement end
 +
 + )
 + ((= response 2 )
 + (format t "That's nice of you. Thanks!")
 + )
 + );;first conditional statement end
 +</code>
 +
 +From the code above, we first create a variable "response" to store the user input. If the user chooses 1, we present the second menu else we print a message to the user.
 +
 +Now when the user selects 1 as the first option and presents the second menu, we want to take another response from the user. Copy the code below and paste it in the "second conditional statement" comment section.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 + ;;second conditional statement start
 + (setf proresponse (read t))
 + (cond ((= proresponse 1)
 + (format t "Alright. Please follow me!"))
 + ((= proresponse 2)
 + (format t "Alright. Please follow me!"))
 + )
 + ;;second conditional statement end
 +</code>
 +
 +Now when we compile and select one for the first input, we should get a request for the second menu, as shown in the image below.
 +
 +{{ :tutorials:intermediate:menu.png?nolink&600 |}}
 +
 +Now we need a variable to store the name of the product the user is looking for. For this to happen, let's create a local variable using the "Let" function of lisp. The "interaction" function should now look like below.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +;; Interaction execution
 +(defun interaction()
 + (cram-urdf-projection:with-simulated-robot (park-arms))
 + (reposition-robot)
 + (menu-one)
 +
 + (let* ((?productname nil))
 + (setf response (read t))
 +
 + ;;first conditional statement start
 + (cond ((= response 1)
 + (menu-two)
 +
 + ;;second conditional statement start
 + (setf proresponse (read t))
 + (cond ((= proresponse 1)
 + (setf ?productname 'cereal)
 + (format t "Alright. Please follow me!"))
 + ((= proresponse 2)
 + (setf ?productname 'milk)
 + (format t "Alright. Please follow me!"))
 + )
 + ;;second conditional statement end
 +
 + )
 + ((= response 2 )
 + (format t "That's nice of you. Thanks!"))
 + );;first conditional statement end
 +
 + ) ;;let close brackets
 + ) ;;interaction close brackets
 +</code>
 +
 +Great job so far. Up to this point, we can initialize the simulation scene, spawn the products and the human, reposition the robot to face the human, and create some basic interaction between the robot and the human. Next, we will see how we can search for the location of the product, navigate to that location, and point to the product.
 +
 +===== Knowledge Base (Prolog) =====
 +
 +We need a knowledge base system for the robot to be able to search for information. The robot can perform the necessary actions required based on the acquired data. Therefore, in this section, we will describe the knowledge base system used in the implementation of this project. The robot uses this knowledge base to find which category a product belongs to, and the possible location of that product.

 +</code>
 +
 +The first fact-group maps the products to their various types/categories while the next one maps the products to their respective shelf locations based on the shelf urdf. The last fact group maps the shelf names to their names in the bullet-world. To understand more about the cram prolog, please refer to this link.
 +
 +Now that we have our cram prolog setup let's run some queries to ensure it works. Don’t forget to compile.
 +Run the code below
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(prolog `(and(is-on-shelf ?object ?shelf)))
 +</code>
 +
 +You should get a result like below.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(((?OBJECT . CEREAL) (?SHELF . SHELF-ONE-LEVEL-4))
 + . #S(CRAM-UTILITIES::LAZY-CONS-ELEM
 +      :GENERATOR #<CLOSURE (LAMBDA () :IN CRAM-UTILITIES:LAZY-MAPCAR)
 +                   {100667BBBB}>))
 +</code>
 +
 +The code returns a single result, which is the first matching result from the prolog knowledge base. What if we want it to return all matching results? We need to modify our line of code a little bit. Try the code below and see the results.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +DEMO> (cut:force-ll (prolog `(and(is-on-shelf ?object ?shelf))))
 +</code>
 +
 +You should get a result like below:
 +<code lisp>
 +(((?OBJECT . CEREAL) (?SHELF . SHELF-ONE-LEVEL-4))
 + ((?OBJECT . CEREAL) (?SHELF . SHELF-TWO-LEVEL-3))
 + ((?OBJECT . CEREAL) (?SHELF . SHELF-ONE-LEVEL-2))
 + ((?OBJECT . SOMAT) (?SHELF . SHELF-ONE-LEVEL-2))
 + ((?OBJECT . SOMAT) (?SHELF . SHELF-ONE-LEVEL-3))
 + ((?OBJECT . SOMAT) (?SHELF . SHELF-ONE-LEVEL-4))
 + ((?OBJECT . MILK) (?SHELF . SHELF-ONE-LEVEL-4))
 + ((?OBJECT . MILK) (?SHELF . SHELF-TWO-LEVEL-4))
 + ((?OBJECT . BOWL) (?SHELF . SHELF-TWO-LEVEL-1))
 + ((?OBJECT . DENKMIT) (?SHELF . SHELF-TWO-LEVEL-2)))
 +</code>
 +
 +As we can see, the code returns the entire matching results. Add  "force-ll" from the "cut" package tells the prolog package to return the full results and not just one.
 +
 +Now that we have proved that our knowledge base works, let's proceed to query the knowledge base from the program.
 +
 +Let's outline the next actions that we need to take. When we get the product information from the user (name of the product), we need to identify the possible location. Base on our knowledge-base setup, we need to find where the product is located on the shelf (urdf), see the actual name of that location in the bullet-world, and use the results to get the pose from the bullet-world.
 +To achieve that, copy the function below and place it in your //cram-plans.lisp// file.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +;; This function returns a list of shelf poses
 +;; It takes the product name as an argument 
 +(defun get-shelf-pose(?product-name)
 +
 + (let* ((list-of-shelves 
 + (cut:force-ll (prolog `(and(is-on-shelf ,?product-name ?shelf))))) 
 + (shelf-location-list nil)
 + (shelf-name nil)
 + (shelf-btr-name nil)
 + (shelf-pose-trans nil)
 + (shelf-str nil)
 + )
 +
 + (dolist (element list-of-shelves)
 + (setf shelf-name (cdar element))
 +
 + (setf shelf-btr-name (cdaar (cut:force-ll (prolog `(and(is-located-at ,shelf-name ?location))))))
 +
 + (setf shelf-pose-trans 
 + (cl-transforms:pose->transform
 + (btr:pose 
 + (find shelf-btr-name
 + (btr:rigid-bodies (btr:get-environment-object)) :key #'btr::name :test #'equalp))))
 + (setf shelf-str (subseq (write-to-string shelf-btr-name) 10 17))
 +
 +
 + (cond ((string-equal shelf-str "shelf_1")
 + (setf shelf-location-list (cons
 + (cl-transforms:transform->pose
 + (cl-transforms:transform* shelf-pose-trans *shelfoneOffset*))
 +
 + shelf-location-list)))
 +
 + ((string-equal shelf-str "shelf_2")
 + (setf shelf-location-list (cons
 + (cl-transforms:transform->pose
 + (cl-transforms:transform* shelf-pose-trans *shelftwoOffset*))
 +
 + shelf-location-list))
 + )))
 +
 + shelf-location-list
 + )
 +
 + )
 +</code>
 +
 +The function above returns a list of possible locations of a given product. As mentioned before, it queries the knowledge base to find the products' possible locations based on the shelf names from the shelf URDF file. Using a loop, we get the actual pose from the bullet-world and store the results in a list. After which the list is returned.
 +
 +Also, in the above function, we use two global variables; "//*shelfoneOffset*//" and "//*shelftwoOffset*//". Copy the following code and place it at the top of the "//cram-plans.lisp//" file.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(defparameter *shelfoneOffset* 
 + (cl-tf:make-transform (cl-tf:make-3d-vector 0.0 -0.33 0.05) (cl-tf:make-quaternion 0 0 0 1)))
 +
 +(defparameter *shelftwoOffset*

 +</code>
 +
 +===== Generating Robot Pose =====
 +Now that we have a list of possible locations of the product, we want to move the robot to a position closer to the possible location one at a time. The idea here is that the robot can end up finding the given product at the first location or the last location in the list. Therefore, for every possible location, the robot will try and find the product. However, we cannot just move the robot to a possible location. The robot could end damaging itself by colliding into the shelf or other humans. Therefore we need to generate a pose for the robot to move to using the possible locations. To do that, please copy the code below and append to the "cram-plans.lisp" file.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +;; This function generates a possible location from which
 +;; the robot can see the product.
 +;; It takes the product name as an argument
 +(defun generate-robot-pose(?shelf-pose)
 + (let* ((?product-pose ?shelf-pose)
 + (?product-pose-stamped (cl-transforms-stamped:pose->pose-stamped "map" 0 ?product-pose))
 + (?product-location-designator (desig:a location (pose ?product-pose-stamped)))
 + (to-see-designator (desig:a location (visible-for pepper)
 + (location ?product-location-designator)
 + (object (desig:an object (type :shelf)))))) ; This line was needed for the location generation to work. 
 + (desig:reference to-see-designator)))
 +</code>
 +
 +In this function, we are saying that based on the given possible product location from the list we generate in the previous function, create a position from which the robot can see that pose. The function returns a pose to which the robot can move to. You can read more about how the pose generation is done from here.
 +
 +Move the Robot to locations.
 +Now that we have our pose, we can move the robot to the results. To achieve this, add the code below to the "cram-plans.lisp" file.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +;; This function moves the robot to a given pose
 +(defun move-to-location(?pose)
 + (let ((?navigation-goal ?pose))
 + (perform (desig:an action
 + (type going)
 + (target (desig:a location 
 + (pose ?navigation-goal)))))))
 +</code>
 +
 +The function above moves the robot to the given location/pose.
 +
 +Now let’s test the functions we just created. Let’s create a function that will house our entire demo. In this function, we can call the functions we create. Let's create a function called demo-one, as shown below. It takes two parameters; the list of shelf poses and the product name. Also, we specify which platform we are using, which is the simulated robot.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +;; Demo one
 +(defun demo-one(?product-name ?shelf-pose-lists)
 + (cram-urdf-projection:with-simulated-robot
 +
 + ;;function details
 +
 +
 + ))
 +</code>
 +
 +Before we continue, we need to update the interaction so we can get the list of shelf poses after the user has indicated the product he/she wants and then parse the results to the “demo-one” function. So we are going to call the “get-shelf-pose” after we get the product name and store the results in a local variable. Your interaction function should look like below (changes have been highlighted in red). Also, let's print the variables to check if we are getting some values.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +;; Interaction execution
 +(defun interaction()
 + (cram-urdf-projection:with-simulated-robot (park-arms))
 + (reposition-robot)
 + (menu-one)
 +
 + (let* '((?productname nil)
 + (?productposelist nil))
 + (setf response (read t))
 +
 + ;;first conditional statement start
 + (cond ((= response 1)
 + (menu-two)
 +
 + ;;second conditional statement start
 + (setf proresponse (read t))
 + (cond ((= proresponse 1)
 + (setf ?productname 'cereal)
 + (setf ?productposelist (get-shelf-pose ?productname))
 + (format t "Alright. Please follow me!"))
 + ((= proresponse 2)
 + (setf ?productname 'milk)
 + (setf ?productposelist (get-shelf-pose ?productname))
 + (format t "Alright. Please follow me!"))
 + )
 + ;;second conditional statement end
 + (print ?productname)
 + (print ?productposelist)
 + )
 + ((= response 2 )
 + (format t "That's nice of you. Thanks!"))
 + );;first conditional statement end
 +
 + ) ;;let close brackets
 + ) ;;interaction close brackets
 +</code>
 +
 +Compile all your edited files and run the "interaction" function again. Select 1 in the first menu and 1 for the other menu. Your terminal should look like the image below.
 +
 +{{ :tutorials:intermediate:printonetest.png?nolink&600 |}}
 +
 +As we can see from the image above, the "cereal" can be located at three locations, which means that everything works up until this point. Let's parse the variables to the "demo-one" function.
 +Note: You can take out the print lines and replace those lines with the following code.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(demo-one ?productname ?productposelist)
 +</code>
 +
 +Update the "//demo-one//" function with the following code. Place it under the function details comment.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +        (let*  ((shelf-pose-lists-copy ?shelf-pose-lists)
 + (product-name-copy ?product-name)
 + (product-pose nil)
 + (found nil))
 +
 +        ;;;expression
 + (dolist (?shelf-pose shelf-pose-lists-copy)
 +
 + (setf product-pose (generate-robot-pose ?shelf-pose))
 +
 + (cpl:with-retry-counters ((error-counter 2))
 + (cpl:with-failure-handling
 +
 + ((cram-common-failures:navigation-pose-unreachable (e)
 +

 + (roslisp:ros-warn (navigation-failure) "~a~%

 +
 + (cpl:do-retry error-counter
 +
 + (setf product-pose (generate-robot-pose ?shelf-pose))
 +
 + (cpl:retry))
 + (return)))
 +
 +
 + (move-to-location product-pose)))
 +
 + )) ;;endof let* and dolist
 +</code>
 +
 +This code above creates four local variables. Using a loop, we go through the list of poses, and then we move the robot to a generated pose. Since CRAM allows us to handle failures, in some cases, the generated pose might be invalid or unachievable, so we try generating another pose for the robot to move to. We do this two times; however, you might want to do it more than once in reality. If we ran our "//demo-one//" function, we would see that the robot moves to all the locations. The image below shows the robot at the last location.
 +
 +{{ :tutorials:intermediate:robotmoveto.png?nolink&600 |}}
 +
 +Now we can proceed to find the product on the shelf.
 +
 +Let’s start by creating a function for that purpose. Copy the code below, and let's explain what is happening. 
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +;; This function finds a product based on the name
 +;; It tries to look for the product from a different direction on a shelf 
 +;; It also handles failures accordingly
 +(defun find-product (?product-name ?product-pose)
 +
 + (generate-look-directions ?product-pose)
 +
 + (let* ((?object-type (get-product-type ?product-name))
 + (possible-look-directions `(,*look-center*
 + ,*look-right*
 + ,*look-left*))
 + (?looking-direction (first possible-look-directions)))
 +
 + (setf possible-look-directions (cdr possible-look-directions))
 +
 + (move-to-location (calculate-robot-navigation-goal-towards-target ?looking-direction))
 +
 + (look-at-product ?looking-direction)
 +
 + (cpl:with-failure-handling
 + ((cram-common-failures:perception-object-not-found (e)
 +           ;; Try different look directions until there is none left.
 +           (when possible-look-directions
 +            (roslisp:ros-warn (perception-failure) "~a~%Turning head." e)
 +
 +            (format t "Changing viewing direction!")
 +            (setf ?looking-direction (first possible-look-directions))
 +
 +            (setf possible-look-directions (cdr possible-look-directions))
 +
 +            (move-to-location (calculate-robot-navigation-goal-towards-target ?looking-direction))
 +            (look-at-product ?looking-direction)
 +
 +
 +            (cpl:retry))
 +           (return)))
 +
 +
 + (cram-executive:perform
 + (desig:an action
 + (type detecting)
 + (object (desig:an object
 + (type ?object-type)))))
 + )))
 +</code>
 +
 +From the code above, we first generate three different looking directions based on the initial/given pose; center, left, and right with the following code.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(generate-look-directions ?product-pose)
 +</code>
 +
 +For every direction generated, we adjust the base of the robot to face that direction, and then we turn the robot's neck towards the position of the product. The reason behind this process depends on the pose of the robot at the initial state, turning only the neck towards the position of the product wouldn't be enough. Therefore, to compensate for the extra turn/distance, we adjust the robot base to make the turning neck, less strenuous.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(setf possible-look-directions (cdr possible-look-directions))
 +
 +(move-to-location (calculate-robot-navigation-goal-towards-target ?looking-direction))
 +
 +(look-at-product ?looking-direction)
 +</code>
 +
 +At this point, the robot should be in a position to detect the product. However, there is a probability that the detection could fail. That's the product that may not be available in a particular direction. This failure will cause our program to throw an error. Therefore, we can use the failure handling mechanism of CRAM to handle the error. In our program, we solve this problem by looking for the product in other directions (center, left, or right), and then we report back to the user.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(cpl:with-failure-handling
 + ((cram-common-failures:perception-object-not-found (e)
 +           ;; Try different look directions until there is none left.

 + )
 +</code>
 +
 +From the code above, we can see that there some helper functions. These include "//generate-look-directions//", "//get-product-type//", "//calculate-robot-navigation-goal-towards-target//", and "//look-at-product//". We also introduced a few global variables. So let's add them to our "//cram-plans.lisp//" file.
 +
 +First, add the following global variables to the top of the page.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(defparameter *look-center* nil)
 +(defparameter *look-right* nil)
 +(defparameter *look-left* nil)
 +</code>
 +
 +Next, we add the following functions.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +;; This function generates possible looking directions for the robot
 +(defun generate-look-directions (?product-pose)
 + (setf *look-center* (cl-transforms-stamped:pose->pose-stamped "map" 0  ?product-pose))
 + (setf *look-right* (get-right-pose ?product-pose))
 + (setf *look-left* (get-left-pose ?product-pose)))
 +</code>
 +
 +It contains some additional helper functions. Let’s add them.

 +</code>
 +
 +These helper functions contain some global variables, so let's place them at the top of the file.
 +

 +
 +There is a helper function that repositions the robot in case the robot needs to increase its field of view. Let’s add that function.

 +
 +This function contains a global variable to offset the position of the robot. Let's add that to a group of global variables.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(defparameter *robotPoseOffset* 
 + (cl-tf:make-transform (cl-tf:make-3d-vector -0.3 0.0 0.0) (cl-tf:make-quaternion 0 0 0 1)))

 +
 +Next,

 + (calculate-pose-towards-target

 +
 +This function also contains another helper function. Let’s add it.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +;;"Given a `look-pose-stamped' and a `robot-pose-stamped' (both in fixed frame),

 +</code>
 +
 +Now let’s call the find-product function after moving the robot to generated location. Append the following code to the “demo-one” function.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +;; Finding product
 +(setf found (find-product product-name-copy ?shelf-pose))
 +</code>
 +
 +If we run "//demo-one//," we will notice that the robot will still go through all the possible product poses even if it finds it in the first position. Ideally, we want the robot to stop after seeing the product. Therefore, we need to check if the product has been found after every search. Let’s add the following code after trying to find the product.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(if (not (null found))
 + (return))
 +</code>
 +
 +This line of code will stop the search for the product after it has been found. If we try to run "demo-one," the robot should stop after the first try.
 +
 +
 +Suppose you have gotten to point without any issues kudos to you. We are almost done. Now, we need to point to the product on the shelf and move the human behind the robot. Let's add the necessary functions to perform these tasks. Update the "cram-plans.lisp" file with the following code.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(defun point-front-right() ; Point forward using the right arm
 + (cram-executive:perform
 + (desig:an action
 + (type positioning-arm)
 + (left-configuration park)
 + (right-configuration point-ahead))))
 +</code>
 +
 +Let's call this function when the product has been found. That's when "found" is not nil. We want to point to the product and then return. Therefore, we want to use the "progn" keyword. Update the demo-one function with the following code.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(if (not (null found))
 + (progn
 + (point-front-right)
 + (return)))
 +</code>
 +
 +Compile, and let's test the code to see if the robot will point to the product on the shelf. If everything is done correctly, you should have the robot point at the product, like the image below.
 +
 +{{ :tutorials:intermediate:pointing.png?nolink&600 |}}
 +
 +Now let’s bring the human closer to the robot. Let’s add the following functions.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +;; This function moves the robot to a new position
 +(defun move-human-to-location()
 + (let* ((?new-human-location (get-human-new-pose)))
 + (setf (btr:pose (btr:object btr:*current-bullet-world* :my-human)) ?new-human-location)))
 +</code>
 +
 +This function has a helper function. Let’s add that as well.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +;; This function generates and returns a new human position based 
 +;; on the robots position. It multiplies the current position of the robot
 +;; by an offset
 +(defun get-human-new-pose()
 + (let* ((robot-cur-pose (cram-tf:robot-current-pose))
 + (robot-cur-trans (cl-transforms:pose->transform robot-cur-pose)))
 + (cl-transforms-stamped:pose->pose-stamped "map"
 + (cl-transforms:transform->pose
 + (cl-transforms:transform* robot-cur-trans  *humanPoseOffset*)))))
 +</code>
 +We have a global variable in this function as well. Let’s add it at the top.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(defparameter *humanPoseOffset* 
 + (cl-tf:make-transform (cl-tf:make-3d-vector -0.8 0.0 1.0) (cl-tf:make-quaternion 0 0 1 1)))
 +</code>
 +
 +Now call it after the robot has pointed to the product. Like this;
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(if (not (null found))
 + (progn
 + (point-front-right)
 + (move-human-to-location)
 + (return)))
 +</code>
 +
 +You should get the following results.
 +
 +{{ :tutorials:intermediate:movehuman.png?nolink&600 |}}
 +
 +Now let’s add some text to be printed to the terminal. Like the following:
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(if (not (null found))
 + (progn
 + (point-front-right)
 + (move-human-to-location)
 + (format t "There is your product!")
 +(return)))
 +</code>
 +
 +Also, what happens when the product is not found? We need to add an else part to the if statement like the following.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +(if (not (null found))
 + (progn
 + (point-front-right)
 + (move-human-to-location)
 + (format t "There is your product!")
 +(return))
 + (progn
 + (move-human-to-location)
 + (format t "Sorry I could not find your product! However, 
 + I believe it is supposed to be in this area of the shelf.")))
 +</code>
 +If we try running the "interaction" function after compiling, we will realize that the human avatar will not reset back to its original position. See the image below.
 +
 +{{ :tutorials:intermediate:stuckhuman.png?nolink&600 |}}
 +
 +So we need a function to reset the human back to its original position. Update the "cram-plans.lisp" file with the code below.
 +
 +<code lisp>
 +;;Repositions the human avatar 
 +(defun reposition-human()
 + (prolog:prolog '(and (btr:bullet-world ?world)
 +                              (assert (btr:object-pose ?world :my-human ((-1 0 1) (0 0 1 1)))))))
 +</code>
 +Let's call this function in the "interaction" function, like below.
 +
 <code lisp> <code lisp>
-(and this-is (some lisp code with lisp highlighting))+;; Interaction execution 
 +(defun interaction(
 + (cram-urdf-projection:with-simulated-robot (park-arms))

 + (menu-one) 
 +….
 </code> </code>
