Getting Started

Install

Dependencies

See the required packages here.

User installation

The easiest way to install quantum-robot is using pip:

pip install -U quantum-robot

The package can be installed from source as well. You can check the latest sources with the command:

git clone https://github.com/Davidelanz/quantum-robot.git

Testing

After installation, you can launch the test suite from outside the source directory (you will need to have pytest installed):

pytest qrobot

References

The quantum-robot package belongs to a research project with the goal of study Quantum-Like modeling for robotics applications. While the package provide a high level abstraction, it is suggested to read the related research (at least to skim it) in order to grasp the big picture behind it:

• A Preliminary Study for a Quantum-like Robot Perception Model.

• Multi-sensory Integration in a Quantum-Like Robot Perception Model.

A ROS package – currently under development – is linked to the research and provide simulations and tools for real-time testing on robotic hardware.

Notebooks

Several notebooks are availabe, to get started with the package and its capabilities:

• One-dimensional demo for the AngularModel.

• Three-dimensional demo for the AngularModel.

• Computation speed analysis for the AngularModel.

• One-dimensional comparison between AngularModel and LinearModel.
