Detailed Description

MocoTrack

This tool constructs problems in which state and/or marker trajectory data are tracked while solving for model kinematics and actuator controls. "Tracking" refers to cost terms that minimize the error between provided reference data and the associated model quantities (joint angles, joint velocities, marker positions, etc).

State and marker tracking

State reference data (joint angles and velocities), marker reference data (x/y/z marker motion capture trajectories), or both may be provided via the states_reference and markers_reference properties. For each set of reference data provided, a tracking cost term is added to the internal MocoProblem.

setMarkersReference() only accepts a scalar TimeSeriesTable (either directly or via a TableProcessor) containing x/y/z marker position values. A TimeSeriesTableVec3 of markers is not accepted, but you may use the flatten() method to convert to a scalar TimeSeriesTable:

MocoTrack track;
TimeSeriesTableVec3 markers = TRCFileAdapter("marker_trajectories.trc");
TimeSeriesTable markersFlat(markers.flatten());
track.setMarkersReference(TableProcessor(markersFlat));

If you wish to set the markers reference directly from a TRC file, use setMarkersReferenceFromTRC().

The states_global_tracking_weight and markers_global_tracking_weight properties apply a cost function weight to all tracking error associated provided reference data. The states_weight_set and markers_weight_set properties give you finer control over the tracking costs, letting you set weights for individual reference data tracking errors.

Control effort minimization

By default, a MocoControlCost term is added to the underlying problem with a weight of 0.001. Control effort terms often help smooth the problem solution controls, and minimally affect the states tracking solution with a sufficiently low weight. Use the minimize_control_effort and control_effort_weight properties to customize these settings.

Problem configuration options

A time range that is compatible with all reference data may be provided. If no time range is set, the widest time range that is compatible with all reference data will be used.

If you would like to track joint velocities but only have joint angles in your states reference, enable the track_reference_position_derivatives property. When enabled, the provided position-level states reference data will be splined in order to compute derivatives. If some velocity-level information exists in the reference, this option will fill in the missing data with position derivatives and leave the existing velocity data intact. This is not enabled by default, but is recommended for improving tracking performance and reducing convergence times.

Since the data in the provided references may be altered by TableProcessor operations or appended to by track_reference_position_derivatives, the tracked data is printed to file in addition to the problem solution. The tracked data files have the following format "<tool_name>_tracked_<data_type>.sto" (e.g. "MocoTool_tracked_states.sto").

Default solver settings

  • solver: MocoCasADiSolver
  • multibody_dynamics_mode: explicit
  • transcription_scheme: Hermite-Simpson
  • optim_convergence_tolerance: 1e-2
  • optim_constraint_tolerance: 1e-2
  • optim_sparsity_detection: random
  • optim_finite_difference_scheme: 'forward'

If you would like to use settings other than these defaults, see "Customizing a tracking problem" below.

Basic example

Construct a tracking problem by setting property values and calling solve():

MocoTrack track;
track.setName("states_tracking_with_reserves");
track.setModel(ModelProcessor("model_file.osim") |
ModOpAddExternalLoads("external_loads.xml") |
ModOpAddReserves());
track.setStatesReference("states_reference_file.sto");
track.set_track_reference_position_derivatives(true);
track.set_control_effort_weight(0.1);
MocoSolution solution = track.solve();

Customizing a tracking problem

If you wish to further customize the underlying MocoProblem before solving, instead of calling solve(), call initialize() which returns a pre-configured MocoStudy object:

MocoTrack track;
track.setName("track_and_minimize_hip_compressive_force");
track.setModel(ModelProcessor("model_file.xml") |
ModOpAddExternalLoads());
track.setStatesReference("states_reference_file.sto");
MocoStudy study = track.initialize();
auto& problem = study.updProblem();
auto* hipForceCost = problem.addGoal<MocoJointReactionCost>("hip_force");
hipForceCost->set_weight(10);
hipForceCost->setJointPath("/jointset/hip_r");
hipForceCost->setReactionMeasures({"force-y"});
auto& solver = study.updSolver<MocoCasADiSolver>();
solver.set_multibody_dynamics_mode("implicit");

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ Self

This typedef might be useful within the member functions of this class.

This is generated by the OpenSim_DECLARE_*_OBJECT macros.

◆ Super

Use this typedef to refer to the superclass of this class.

Avoid using the explicit type name of the superclass; this would introduce bugs if the superclass is changed.

Member Function Documentation

◆ assign()

void OpenSim::MocoTrack::assign ( Object aObject)
inlineoverride

This allows copy assignment in the Java GUI.

Exceptions
Exceptionif the argument is not of type MocoTrack.

◆ clone()

MocoTrack* OpenSim::MocoTrack::clone ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Create a new heap-allocated copy of the concrete object to which this Object refers.

It is up to the caller to delete the returned object when no longer needed. Every concrete object deriving from Object implements this pure virtual method automatically, via the declaration macro it invokes (e.g., OpenSim_DECLARE_CONCRETE_OBJECT()). Note that the concrete class overrides modify the return type to be a pointer to the concrete object; that still overrides the base class method because the return type is covariant with (that is, derives from) Object.

◆ getConcreteClassName()

const std::string& OpenSim::MocoTrack::getConcreteClassName ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the class name of the concrete Object-derived class of the actual object referenced by this Object, as a string.

This is the string that is used as the tag for this concrete object in an XML file. Every concrete class derived from Object automatically overrides this method via the declaration macro it uses. See getClassName() to get the class name of the referencing (possibly abstract) class rather than the concrete object.
