PDSim: Planning Domain Simulation

Visualization and animation of PDDL plans.

Use PDDL domain and problem files to setup a simulation.

Installation: Back-End

PDSim use a back-end server to generate the Unity's components used for the simulation, install it from here

Example Scenes

I'm adding some visualisation projects you can download and drag and drop into Unity

Floor Tile Domain

Project

• PDDL predicates are used to define animation in Unity using the built-in visual scripting language.
• PDDL types is defined are use to create objects prefab of a particular category. Import all the models you want to repesent PDDL types.
• PDDL actions' effects and init are the main animated component. Interact with the UI to get info about the state of the environment and each component with the built-in UI

Example with Blocks World:
