            I am trying using Webots in combination with stable-baselines3 for reeinforcment-learning purpose.

            ANSWER

            Answered 2021-Sep-09 at 06:35

            The WEBOTS_PID environment variable should be set before you start the robot controller, otherwise it is not taken into account. So, you cannot set it in the runtime.ini (which is anyhow ignored when launching extern controllers) nor in the controller itself. I would recommend you to write a script that sets the WEBOTS_PID first and then starts the controller program as an extern controller.

            Webots pen camera recognition
            Asked 2021-Jul-13 at 06:39

            I am trying to make a tic-tac-toe game in Webots.

            I have 2 robot one that draw circle and the others draw crosses using the device "pen".

            I need them to recognise when the other robot draws something, but the camera recognition seems to work only on solid.

            Is there a way to make the camera recognise drawings ?

            You should use some image processing library, like OpenCV, to process the camera image and recognize whether a cross or a circle was drawn in a certain square. Using different colors for crosses and circles may also help the image processing to categorize these items efficiently.

            `bash: webots: command not found` in my docker container because of multiple FROMs

            Container that does run webots (but no ROS2)

            ANSWER

            Answered 2021-Mar-26 at 02:26

            When you have multiple FROM commands, you're not "inheriting" both of their contents into the same image - you're doing a multi-stage build. This allows you to COPY from that stage specifying the --from option. By default, the last stage in your Dockerfile will be the target (so, in your example, you're only actually using the ros2 image. The webots image is not actually being used there.

            You have two options here:

            1. Copy just the files you need from the webots image using COPY --from=base

            This will probably be hard and finicky. You'll need to copy all dependencies; and if they're acquired through your package manager (apt-get), you'll leave dpkg's local database inconsistent.

            1. Copy one of the Dockerfiles and change their FROM

            This will probably work fine as long as they both use the same base distribution. You can go into one of the project's repositories and grab their Dockerfile, rebuilding it from the other image - just change, for example, cyberbotics/webots:R2021a-ubuntu20.04's Dockerfile to have FROM niurover/ros2_foxy:latest. It may require tinkering with the other commands there, though.

            Webots using Python 2.7 when Python 3.x is default
            Asked 2020-Nov-16 at 18:51

            On my mac I switched python versions to 3.7 and when using the command python -V in the terminal it shows that it successfully switched. Webots still shows that the deprecated 2.7 version is being used. When I checked the command, it says python

            I've messed with creating a runtime.ini as well, which seemed to work but doesn't recognize webot modules like "Controller," or "Robot." Though I can't find anything about what the module names would be and how I could include them in the Options for the runtime.ini with the -m flag.

            I was able to solve this by setting the absolute path, shown in the image link, to a valid version of Python 3 in the Webots->Preferences command field. I had a slight error with NumPy not coming with this version but was easily fixable by doing -m pip install NumPy

            I hope this is helpful to others as it was the last thing I tried and cost me some time.

            It could be caused by several things:

            • graphics card: Some old Intel graphics cards are not supported by Webots and may cause this kind of crash.
            • graphics card driver: outdated drivers may cause such crashes. You should check that your graphics card driver is up-to-date.
            • conflicting software: some third party software install some DLL in the Windows system32 folder (which is a bad practice) causing some conflicts with Webots if the DLL name is the same as some DLL used by Webots.
            • your installation of Webots was somehow corrupted.

            This should be a question of setting your environment variable(s) PATH (and possibly LD_LIBRARY_PATH) to the correct values. If you install SUMO via the package manager of your Linux (apt or something) there should be nothing to adapt. I see from the Webots docs that they recommend manual adaption of those paths. If you don't do those changes or revert them you should be always using the netedit coming with plain SUMO. If you want to use the Webots version adapt the paths such that they list Webots directories first.
