Projects

  • Gibson Environment
    I contributed to Gibson Environment, an open-source robotic simulator for vision sim-to-real. My upgrades include adding a new simulation environment without physical constraints, improving the assets management (that includes environments dataset and robot models), improving the build procedure, and setting up a continuous integration workflow (CI) using Github Actions to automatically build and publish a compiled version of Gibson (available on PyPI) following the manylinux standard.
    Code
  • Generic Dataset
    This configurable framework automatically generates the code and the necessary classes to manage a dataset of any kind, using the metaprogramming paradigm. Generic Dataset also offers useful utility to manipulate NumPy’s arrays, building a pipeline executable on CPU or GPU without modifying the code. It can be easily installed using PyPI.
    Code
  • Python Runtime Stub Generator
    This utility automatically generates Python stub files at runtime to enhance the auto-complete capabilities of your favorite Python IDE. Stub files are dynamically generated by importing Python modules and examining them through Python’s internals. This allows to consider also dynamically generated types. It is also available on PyPI.
