8 * Design Constraints
|

|
10 I use [[www.blender.org/][blender]] to design bodies. The design of the bodies is
|
rlm@202
|
11 determined by the requirements of the AI that will use them. The
|
rlm@202
|
12 bodies must be easy for an AI to sense and control, and they must be
|
rlm@202
|
13 relatively simple for jMonkeyEngine to compute.

16 ** Bag of Bones
|
rlm@202
|
17
|
rlm@202
|
18 How to create such a body? One option I ultimately rejected is to use
|
rlm@202
|
19 blender's [[http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Rigging/Armatures][armature]] system. The idea would have been to define a mesh
|
rlm@202
|
20 which describes the creature's entire body. To this you add an
|
rlm@273
|
21 skeleton which deforms this mesh. This technique is used extensively
|
rlm@202
|
22 to model humans and create realistic animations. It is hard to use for
|
rlm@202
|
23 my purposes because it is difficult to update the creature's Physics
|
rlm@202
|
24 Collision Mesh in tandem with its Geometric Mesh under the influence
|
rlm@202
|
25 of the armature. Withouth this the creature will not be able to grab
|
rlm@202
|
26 things in its environment, and it won't be able to tell where its
|
rlm@202
|
27 physical body is by using its eyes. Also, armatures do not specify
|
rlm@202
|
28 any rotational limits for a joint, making it hard to model elbows,
|
rlm@202
|
29 shoulders, etc.
|
rlm@202
|

|
rlm@202
|
31 ** EVE
|
rlm@202
|
32
|
rlm@202
|
33 Instead of using the human-like "deformable bag of bones" approach, I
|
rlm@202
|
34 decided to base my body plans on the robot EVE from the movie wall-E.
|
rlm@202
|
35
|
rlm@202
|
36 #+caption: EVE from the movie WALL-E. This body plan turns out to be much better suited to my purposes than a more human-like one.
|
rlm@202
|
37 [[../images/Eve.jpg]]
|
rlm@202
|
38
|
rlm@204
|
39 EVE's body is composed of several rigid components that are held
|
rlm@204
|
40 together by invisible joint constraints. This is what I mean by
|
rlm@204
|
41 "eve-like". The main reason that I use eve-style bodies is so that
|
rlm@204
|
42 there will be correspondence between the AI's vision and the physical
|
rlm@204
|
43 presence of its body. Each individual section is simulated by a
|
rlm@204
|
44 separate rigid body that corresponds exactly with its visual
|
rlm@204
|
45 representation and does not change. Sections are connected by
|
rlm@204
|
46 invisible joints that are well supported in jMonkyeEngine. Bullet, the
|
rlm@204
|
47 physics backend for jMonkeyEngine, can efficiently simulate hundreds
|
rlm@204
|
48 of rigid bodies connected by joints. Sections do not have to stay as
|
rlm@204
|
49 one piece forever; they can be dynamically replaced with multiple
|
rlm@204
|
50 sections to simulate splitting in two. This could be used to simulate
|
rlm@209
|
51 retractable claws or EVE's hands, which are able to coalece into one
|
rlm@209
|
52 object in the movie.
|

rlm@202
|
54 * Solidifying the Body
|
rlm@202
|
55
|
rlm@202
|
56 Here is a hand designed eve-style in blender.

114 You will notice that the hand has no physical presence -- it's a
|
rlm@204
|
115 hologram through which everything passes. Therefore, the first thing
|
rlm@202
|
116 to do is to make it solid. Blender has physics simulation on par with
|
rlm@202
|
117 jMonkeyEngine (they both use bullet as their physics backend), but it
|
rlm@202
|
118 can be difficult to translate between the two systems, so for now I
|
rlm@209
|
119 specify the mass of each object as meta-data in blender and construct
|
rlm@209
|
120 the physics shape based on the mesh in jMonkeyEngine.

|
196
|
rlm@202
|
197 * Joints
|
rlm@202
|
198
|
rlm@209
|
199 Obviously, an AI is not going to be doing much while lying in pieces
|
rlm@209
|
200 on the floor. So, the next step to making a proper body is to connect
|
rlm@202
|
201 those pieces together with joints. jMonkeyEngine has a large array of
|
rlm@202
|
202 joints available via bullet, such as Point2Point, Cone, Hinge, and a
|
rlm@202
|
203 generic Six Degree of Freedom joint, with or without spring
|
rlm@202
|
204 restitution.
|
rlm@202
|
205
|
rlm@202
|
206 Although it should be possible to specify the joints using blender's
|
rlm@202
|
207 physics system, and then automatically import them with jMonkeyEngine,
|
rlm@202
|
208 the support isn't there yet, and there are a few problems with bullet
|
rlm@202
|
209 itself that need to be solved before it can happen.
|
rlm@202
|
210
|
rlm@202
|
211 So, I will use the same system for specifying joints as I will do for
|
rlm@202
|
212 some senses. Each joint is specified by an empty node whose parent
|
rlm@202
|
213 has the name "joints". Their orientation and meta-data determine what
|
rlm@202
|
214 joint is created.
|
rlm@202

217 #+caption: Joints hack in blender. Each empty node here will be transformed into a joint in jMonkeyEngine
|
rlm@202
|
218 [[../images/hand-screenshot1.png]]
|
rlm@202
|
219
|
rlm@203
|
220 The empty node in the upper right, highlighted in yellow, is the
|
rlm@203
|
221 parent node of all the emptys which represent joints. The following
|
rlm@203
|
222 functions must do three things to translate these into real joints:
|
rlm@202
|
223
|
rlm@203
|
224 - Find the children of the "joints" node.
|
rlm@203
|
225 - Determine the two spatials the joint it meant to connect.
|
rlm@203
|
226 - Create the joint based on the meta-data of the empty node.
|
rlm@202
|
227
|
rlm@203
|
228 ** Finding the Joints
|
rlm@209
|
229
|
rlm@273
|
230 The higher order function =sense-nodes= from =cortex.sense= simplifies
|
rlm@209
|
231 the first task.
|

|
242 ** Joint Targets and Orientation
|
rlm@203
|
243
|
rlm@203
|
244 This technique for finding a joint's targets is very similiar to
|
rlm@273
|
245 =cortex.sense/closest-node=. A small cube, centered around the
|
rlm@203
|
246 empty-node, grows exponentially until it intersects two /physical/
|
rlm@203
|
247 objects. The objects are ordered according to the joint's rotation,
|
rlm@203
|
248 with the first one being the object that has more negative coordinates
|
rlm@203
|
249 in the joint's reference frame. Since the objects must be physical,
|
rlm@203
|
250 the empty-node itself escapes detection. Because the objects must be
|
rlm@273
|
251 physical, =joint-targets= must be called /after/ =physical!= is
|
rlm@203
|
252 called.
