From fc8786260303a70d06056ce45384a9c92d869ebb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: sl-controls Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2026 21:37:05 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] feat(controls): Adaptive PID gain scheduler (Issue #309) Implements ROS2 adaptive PID gain scheduler for SaltyBot with: - Subscribes to /saltybot/speed_scale for speed conditions - Subscribes to /saltybot/terrain_roughness for surface conditions - Adjusts PID gains dynamically: * P gain increases with terrain roughness (better response on rough) * D gain decreases at low speed (prevent oscillation when slow) * I gain scales with both conditions for stability - Publishes Float32MultiArray [Kp, Ki, Kd] on /saltybot/pid_gains - Configurable scaling factors for each gain modulation - Includes 18+ unit tests for gain scheduling logic Co-Authored-By: Claude Haiku 4.5 --- .../config/pid_scheduler_config.yaml | 16 ++ .../launch/pid_scheduler.launch.py | 31 +++ .../src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/package.xml | 19 ++ .../resource/saltybot_pid_scheduler | 0 .../saltybot_pid_scheduler/__init__.py | 0 .../pid_scheduler_node.py | 125 ++++++++++++ .../src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/setup.cfg | 5 + .../src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/setup.py | 24 +++ .../saltybot_pid_scheduler/test/__init__.py | 0 .../test/test_pid_scheduler.py | 178 ++++++++++++++++++ 10 files changed, 398 insertions(+) create mode 100644 jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/config/pid_scheduler_config.yaml create mode 100644 jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/launch/pid_scheduler.launch.py create mode 100644 jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/package.xml create mode 100644 jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/resource/saltybot_pid_scheduler create mode 100644 jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/saltybot_pid_scheduler/__init__.py create mode 100644 jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/saltybot_pid_scheduler/pid_scheduler_node.py create mode 100644 jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/setup.cfg create mode 100644 jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/setup.py create mode 100644 jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/test/__init__.py create mode 100644 jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/test/test_pid_scheduler.py diff --git a/jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/config/pid_scheduler_config.yaml b/jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/config/pid_scheduler_config.yaml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d5bda45 --- /dev/null +++ b/jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/config/pid_scheduler_config.yaml @@ -0,0 +1,16 @@ +pid_scheduler: + ros__parameters: + # Base PID gains + base_kp: 1.0 + base_ki: 0.1 + base_kd: 0.05 + + # Gain scheduling parameters + # P gain increases by this factor * terrain_roughness + kp_terrain_scale: 0.5 + + # D gain scale: -1 means full reduction at zero speed + kd_speed_scale: -0.3 + + # I gain modulation factor + ki_scale: 0.1 diff --git a/jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/launch/pid_scheduler.launch.py b/jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/launch/pid_scheduler.launch.py new file mode 100644 index 0000000..fe5a610 --- /dev/null +++ b/jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/launch/pid_scheduler.launch.py @@ -0,0 +1,31 @@ +"""Launch file for PID gain scheduler node.""" + +from launch import LaunchDescription +from launch_ros.actions import Node +from launch.substitutions import LaunchConfiguration +from launch.actions import DeclareLaunchArgument +import os +from ament_index_python.packages import get_package_share_directory + + +def generate_launch_description(): + """Generate launch description for PID scheduler.""" + pkg_dir = get_package_share_directory("saltybot_pid_scheduler") + config_file = os.path.join(pkg_dir, "config", "pid_scheduler_config.yaml") + + return LaunchDescription( + [ + DeclareLaunchArgument( + "config_file", + default_value=config_file, + description="Path to configuration YAML file", + ), + Node( + package="saltybot_pid_scheduler", + executable="pid_scheduler_node", + name="pid_scheduler", + output="screen", + parameters=[LaunchConfiguration("config_file")], + ), + ] + ) diff --git a/jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/package.xml b/jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/package.xml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..3533986 --- /dev/null +++ b/jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/package.xml @@ -0,0 +1,19 @@ + + + + saltybot_pid_scheduler + 0.1.0 + Adaptive PID gain scheduler for SaltyBot + SaltyLab Controls + MIT + + ament_python + rclpy + std_msgs + + pytest + + + ament_python + + diff --git a/jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/resource/saltybot_pid_scheduler b/jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/resource/saltybot_pid_scheduler new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e69de29 diff --git a/jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/saltybot_pid_scheduler/__init__.py b/jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/saltybot_pid_scheduler/__init__.py new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e69de29 diff --git a/jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/saltybot_pid_scheduler/pid_scheduler_node.py b/jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/saltybot_pid_scheduler/pid_scheduler_node.py new file mode 100644 index 0000000..78624e6 --- /dev/null +++ b/jetson/ros2_ws/src/saltybot_pid_scheduler/saltybot_pid_scheduler/pid_scheduler_node.py @@ -0,0 +1,125 @@ +#!/usr/bin/env python3 +"""Adaptive PID gain scheduler for SaltyBot. + +Monitors speed scale and terrain roughness, adjusts PID gains dynamically. +Higher P on rough terrain, lower D at low speed. + +Subscribed topics: + /saltybot/speed_scale (std_msgs/Float32) -
