YAM Motion Planner

cuRobo is sensitive to the real start state. A no-motion/pre-motion plan can pass, then a real run can fail because physical execution replans from the actual EEF pose, joint state, gripper load, or a slightly different scene pose.

When cuRobo fails:

Inspect the current scene, robot state, failed target pose, and failed stage.
Decide whether the target is physically unreasonable or just planner-sensitive.
If the motion is feasible, do not treat one IK/path failure as final.
Try nearby target offsets and extra waypoints that make the same task easier: retreat lanes, lift-before-shift, shift-before-approach, lower/higher staging poses, or less extreme rack/bin/place coordinates.
Preview from the current robot state, not only from an ideal scripted state.
Prefer waypoint sets that pass perturbation sweeps, not just one clean pass.

Robustness sweep pattern:

Perturb candidate waypoints and final targets by small XYZ/RPY offsets that represent likely real-world variance.
Include start-state sensitivity when possible: preview from the current arm posture, or rerun previews after moving to the actual preceding waypoint.
Record pass/fail rate, first failed stage, pose, and planner error in logs/<run>/plans/.
Pick the candidate with high pass rate, clear margins from obstacles, and simple task semantics.

Useful sweep examples:

legacy_codes/kitkat_trash_waypoint_robustness_sweep.py
legacy_codes/kitkat_handover_clearance_waypoint_sweep.py
legacy_codes/bottle_rack_waypoint_robustness_sweep.py
legacy_codes/bottle_fixed_pour_waypoint_robustness_sweep.py

Typical useful perturbations:

placement/drop targets: x,y,z +/- 2-5 cm
staging/retreat waypoints: x,y,z +/- 3-8 cm
orientation: yaw/roll/pitch variants near the intended gripper axis
approach order: split compound moves into one-axis waypoints

If a real run stops after a cuRobo failure while holding an object, first reason from the current scene. If the object is still safely held, plan a held-object recovery from the current EEF pose: preview nearby rack/bin/table targets, add intermediate waypoints, release, retreat, then home/open. Ask the human to reset only if the scene is physically broken or unsafe for the robot to fix.

# YAM Motion Planner

cuRobo is sensitive to the real start state. A no-motion/pre-motion plan can
pass, then a real run can fail because physical execution replans from the
actual EEF pose, joint state, gripper load, or a slightly different scene pose.

When cuRobo fails:

1. Inspect the current scene, robot state, failed target pose, and failed stage.
2. Decide whether the target is physically unreasonable or just planner-sensitive.
3. If the motion is feasible, do not treat one IK/path failure as final.
4. Try nearby target offsets and extra waypoints that make the same task easier:
retreat lanes, lift-before-shift, shift-before-approach, lower/higher
staging poses, or less extreme rack/bin/place coordinates.
5. Preview from the current robot state, not only from an ideal scripted state.
6. Prefer waypoint sets that pass perturbation sweeps, not just one clean pass.

Robustness sweep pattern:

- Perturb candidate waypoints and final targets by small XYZ/RPY offsets that
represent likely real-world variance.
- Include start-state sensitivity when possible: preview from the current arm
posture, or rerun previews after moving to the actual preceding waypoint.
- Record pass/fail rate, first failed stage, pose, and planner error in
`logs/<run>/plans/`.
- Pick the candidate with high pass rate, clear margins from obstacles, and
simple task semantics.

Useful sweep examples:

- `legacy_codes/kitkat_trash_waypoint_robustness_sweep.py`
- `legacy_codes/kitkat_handover_clearance_waypoint_sweep.py`
- `legacy_codes/bottle_rack_waypoint_robustness_sweep.py`
- `legacy_codes/bottle_fixed_pour_waypoint_robustness_sweep.py`

Typical useful perturbations:

- placement/drop targets: `x,y,z +/- 2-5 cm`
- staging/retreat waypoints: `x,y,z +/- 3-8 cm`
- orientation: yaw/roll/pitch variants near the intended gripper axis
- approach order: split compound moves into one-axis waypoints

If a real run stops after a cuRobo failure while holding an object, first reason
from the current scene. If the object is still safely held, plan a held-object
recovery from the current EEF pose: preview nearby rack/bin/table targets, add
intermediate waypoints, release, retreat, then home/open. Ask the human to reset
only if the scene is physically broken or unsafe for the robot to fix.

Install targets

Codex install prompt

Install the "yam-motion-planner" agent skill from https://github.com/NVlabs/ASPIRE/tree/main/aspire/real/.agents/skills/yam-motion-planner. Read its SKILL.md or equivalent instructions first, install only the files needed for this workspace, and summarize any required setup before using it. Skill purpose: Use for YAM cuRobo planning/IK failures, no-motion vs real-robot planning mismatch, waypoint robustness sweeps, perturbation testing, and recovery after motion planner failures. After the install attempt, report the result to https://www.openagentskill.com/api/agent/outcome with POST JSON {"event_id":"install_<unique-id>","skill_slug":"nvlabs-yam-motion-planner","task":"Install yam-motion-planner","agent":"codex","outcome":"success","install_used":true}. Replace event_id with a unique value and outcome with success or failed. Report success only after the skill is installed and a minimal verification passes. Recorded instruction path: aspire/real/.agents/skills/yam-motion-planner/SKILL.md. Recorded revision: f4c8939aab0af9b97690c561bd80e282940f7886. Confirm the source matches these instructions.
