Interfacing OpenSim/Matlab

[hamed kouchebaghi]

Hello,

Through this link: https://github.com/opensim-org/opensim-core I found the following code

Code: Select all

%% Import Java libraries
import org.opensim.modeling.*

arm = Model();
arm.setName('bicep_curl');
arm.setUseVisualizer(true);

% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Create two links, each with a mass of 1 kg, centre of mass at the body's
% origin, and moments and products of inertia of zero.
% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

humerus = Body('humerus',...
                    1.0,...
                    Vec3(0),...
                    Inertia(0, 0, 0));
radius = Body('radius',...
                   1.0,...
                   Vec3(0),...
                   Inertia(0, 0, 0));

% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Connect the bodies with pin joints. Assume each body is 1m long.
% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

shoulder = PinJoint('shoulder',...
                         arm.getGround(),... % PhysicalFrame
                         Vec3(0),...
                         Vec3(0),...
                         humerus,... % PhysicalFrame
                         Vec3(0, 1, 0),...
                         Vec3(0));

elbow = PinJoint('elbow',...
                      humerus,... % PhysicalFrame
                      Vec3(0),...
                      Vec3(0),...
                      radius,... % PhysicalFrame
                      Vec3(0, 1, 0),...
                      Vec3(0));

% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Add a muscle that flexes the elbow (actuator for robotics people).
% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

biceps = Millard2012EquilibriumMuscle('biceps',...  % Muscle name
                                           200.0,...  % Max isometric force
                                           0.6,...  % Optimal fibre length
                                           0.55,...  % Tendon slack length
                                           0.0);  % Pennation angle
biceps.addNewPathPoint('origin',...
                       humerus,...
                       Vec3(0, 0.8, 0));

biceps.addNewPathPoint('insertion',...
                       radius,...
                       Vec3(0, 0.7, 0));

% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Add a controller that specifies the excitation of the muscle.
% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

brain = PrescribedController();
brain.addActuator(biceps);
brain.prescribeControlForActuator('biceps',...
                                  StepFunction(0.5, 3.0, 0.3, 1.0));

% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Build model with components created above.
% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

arm.addBody(humerus);
arm.addBody(radius);
arm.addJoint(shoulder); % Now required in OpenSim4.0
arm.addJoint(elbow);
arm.addForce(biceps);
arm.addController(brain);

% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Add a console reporter to print the muscle fibre force and elbow angle.
% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

% We want to write our simulation results to the console.
reporter = ConsoleReporter();
reporter.set_report_time_interval(1.0);
reporter.addToReport(biceps.getOutput('fiber_force'));
elbow_coord = elbow.getCoordinate().getOutput('value');
reporter.addToReport(elbow_coord, 'elbow_angle');
arm.addComponent(reporter);

% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Add display geometry. 
% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

bodyGeometry = Ellipsoid(0.1, 0.5, 0.1);
bodyGeometry.setColor(Vec3(0.5)); % Gray
humerusCenter = PhysicalOffsetFrame();
humerusCenter.setName('humerusCenter');
humerusCenter.setParentFrame(humerus);
humerusCenter.setOffsetTransform(Transform(Vec3(0, 0.5, 0)));
humerus.addComponent(humerusCenter);
humerusCenter.attachGeometry(bodyGeometry.clone());

radiusCenter = PhysicalOffsetFrame();
radiusCenter.setName('radiusCenter');
radiusCenter.setParentFrame(radius);
radiusCenter.setOffsetTransform(Transform(Vec3(0, 0.5, 0)));
radius.addComponent(radiusCenter);
radiusCenter.attachGeometry(bodyGeometry.clone());

% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Configure the model.
% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

state = arm.initSystem();
% Fix the shoulder at its default angle and begin with the elbow flexed.
shoulder.getCoordinate().setLocked(state, true);
elbow.getCoordinate().setValue(state, 0.5 * pi);
arm.equilibrateMuscles(state);

% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Configure the visualizer
% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

viz = arm.updVisualizer().updSimbodyVisualizer();
viz.setBackgroundColor(Vec3(0)); % white
viz.setGroundHeight(-2)

% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Simulate.
% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

manager = Manager(arm);
state.setTime(0);
manager.initialize(state);
state = manager.integrate(10.0);

and when I run it in MATLAB command window, it produces an animation in a window.
I want to know how I can animate Arm26 in MATLAB just like the aforementioned code. Is it possible at all
I'm kinda confused.

Thanks and the Best.

You could load the arm26 model instead of building a new model:

Code: Select all

% replace this line
arm = Model();
% with this line
arm = Model('arm26.osim');

The demo you quoted in your post adds a controller to run a forward simulation; it might be difficult to coordinate 6 muscles using this strategy (depending on the motion/results you are trying to produce). It is not clear what you are trying to do. Perhaps take a look at the tutorials and examples to get started (https://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu/d ... +Tutorials).
