8 * Design Constraints
|
rlm@202

|
rlm@202
|
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.
|
rlm@202
|

|
rlm@202
|
15 ** Bag of Bones
|
rlm@202
|
16
|
rlm@202
|
17 How to create such a body? One option I ultimately rejected is to use
|
rlm@202
|
18 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
|
19 which describes the creature's entire body. To this you add an
|
rlm@202
|
20 (skeleton) which deforms this mesh. This technique is used extensively
|
rlm@202
|
21 to model humans and create realistic animations. It is hard to use for
|
rlm@202
|
22 my purposes because it is difficult to update the creature's Physics
|
rlm@202
|
23 Collision Mesh in tandem with its Geometric Mesh under the influence
|
rlm@202
|
24 of the armature. Withouth this the creature will not be able to grab
|
rlm@202
|
25 things in its environment, and it won't be able to tell where its
|
rlm@202
|
26 physical body is by using its eyes. Also, armatures do not specify
|
rlm@202
|
27 any rotational limits for a joint, making it hard to model elbows,
|
rlm@202
|
28 shoulders, etc.
|
rlm@202
|
29
|
rlm@202
|
30 ** EVE
|
rlm@202
|
31
|
rlm@202
|
32 Instead of using the human-like "deformable bag of bones" approach, I
|
rlm@202
|
33 decided to base my body plans on the robot EVE from the movie wall-E.
|
rlm@202
|
34
|
rlm@202
|
35 #+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
|
36 [[../images/Eve.jpg]]
|
rlm@202
|
37
|
rlm@204
|
38 EVE's body is composed of several rigid components that are held
|
rlm@204
|
39 together by invisible joint constraints. This is what I mean by
|
rlm@204
|
40 "eve-like". The main reason that I use eve-style bodies is so that
|
rlm@204
|
41 there will be correspondence between the AI's vision and the physical
|
rlm@204
|
42 presence of its body. Each individual section is simulated by a
|
rlm@204
|
43 separate rigid body that corresponds exactly with its visual
|
rlm@204
|
44 representation and does not change. Sections are connected by
|
rlm@204
|
45 invisible joints that are well supported in jMonkyeEngine. Bullet, the
|
rlm@204
|
46 physics backend for jMonkeyEngine, can efficiently simulate hundreds
|
rlm@204
|
47 of rigid bodies connected by joints. Sections do not have to stay as
|
rlm@204
|
48 one piece forever; they can be dynamically replaced with multiple
|
rlm@204
|
49 sections to simulate splitting in two. This could be used to simulate
|
rlm@209
|
50 retractable claws or EVE's hands, which are able to coalece into one
|
rlm@209
|
51 object in the movie.
|
rlm@202
|
52
|
rlm@202
|
53 * Solidifying the Body
|
rlm@202
|
54
|
rlm@202
|
55 Here is a hand designed eve-style in blender.

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

188
|
rlm@202
|
189 * Joints
|
rlm@202
|
190
|
rlm@209
|
191 Obviously, an AI is not going to be doing much while lying in pieces
|
rlm@209
|
192 on the floor. So, the next step to making a proper body is to connect
|
rlm@202
|
193 those pieces together with joints. jMonkeyEngine has a large array of
|
rlm@202
|
194 joints available via bullet, such as Point2Point, Cone, Hinge, and a
|
rlm@202
|
195 generic Six Degree of Freedom joint, with or without spring
|
rlm@202
|
196 restitution.
|
rlm@202
|
197
|
rlm@202
|
198 Although it should be possible to specify the joints using blender's
|
rlm@202
|
199 physics system, and then automatically import them with jMonkeyEngine,
|
rlm@202
|
200 the support isn't there yet, and there are a few problems with bullet
|
rlm@202
|
201 itself that need to be solved before it can happen.
|
rlm@202
|
202
|
rlm@202
|
203 So, I will use the same system for specifying joints as I will do for
|
rlm@202
|
204 some senses. Each joint is specified by an empty node whose parent
|
rlm@202
|
205 has the name "joints". Their orientation and meta-data determine what
|
rlm@202
|
206 joint is created.
|
rlm@202
|

209 #+caption: Joints hack in blender. Each empty node here will be transformed into a joint in jMonkeyEngine
|
rlm@202
|
210 [[../images/hand-screenshot1.png]]
|
rlm@202
|
211
|
rlm@203
|
212 The empty node in the upper right, highlighted in yellow, is the
|
rlm@203
|
213 parent node of all the emptys which represent joints. The following
|
rlm@203
|
214 functions must do three things to translate these into real joints:
|
rlm@202
|
215
|
rlm@203
|
216 - Find the children of the "joints" node.
|
rlm@203
|
217 - Determine the two spatials the joint it meant to connect.
|
rlm@203
|
218 - Create the joint based on the meta-data of the empty node.
|
rlm@202
|
219
|
rlm@203
|
220 ** Finding the Joints
|
rlm@209
|
221
|
rlm@209
|
222 The higher order function =(sense-nodes)= from =cortex.sense= simplifies
|
rlm@209
|
223 the first task.
|
rlm@209
|
224

|
235 ** Joint Targets and Orientation
|
rlm@203
|
236
|
rlm@203
|
237 This technique for finding a joint's targets is very similiar to
|
rlm@203
|
238 =(cortex.sense/closest-node)=. A small cube, centered around the
|
rlm@203
|
239 empty-node, grows exponentially until it intersects two /physical/
|
rlm@203
|
240 objects. The objects are ordered according to the joint's rotation,
|
rlm@203
|
241 with the first one being the object that has more negative coordinates
|
rlm@203
|
242 in the joint's reference frame. Since the objects must be physical,
|
rlm@203
|
243 the empty-node itself escapes detection. Because the objects must be
|
rlm@203
|
244 physical, =(joint-targets)= must be called /after/ =(physical!)= is
|
rlm@203
|
245 called.
