**Pinocchio** instantiates the state-of-the-art Rigid Body Algorithms for poly-articulated systems based on revisited Roy Featherstone's algorithms. Besides, **Pinocchio** provides the analytical derivatives of the main Rigid-Body Algorithms like the Recursive Newton-Euler Algorithm or the Articulated-Body Algorithm. **Pinocchio** is first tailored for robotics applications, but it can be used in extra contexts (biomechanics, computer graphics, vision, etc.). It is built upon Eigen for linear algebra and FCL for collision detection. **Pinocchio** comes with a Python interface for fast code prototyping, [directly accessible](https://github.com/conda-forge/pinocchio-feedstock#installing-pinocchio) through [Conda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/). **Pinocchio** is now at the heart of various robotics software as [Crocoddyl](https://github.com/loco-3d/crocoddyl/tree/devel), an open-source and efficient Differential Dynamic Programming solver for robotics, the [Stack-of-Tasks](http://stack-of-tasks.github.io), an open-source and versatile hierarchical controller framework or the [Humanoid Path Planner](https://humanoid-path-planner.github.io/hpp-doc), an open-source software for Motion and Manipulation Planning. If you want to learn more on **Pinocchio** internal behaviors and main features, we invite you to read the related [paper](https://hal-laas.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01866228) and the online [documentation](https://gepettoweb.laas.fr/doc/stack-of-tasks/pinocchio/master/doxygen-html/). If you want to directly dive into **Pinocchio**, only one single line is sufficient (assuming you have Conda):

conda install pinocchio -c conda-forge

or via pip (currently only available on Linux):

pip install pin

A cheat sheet pdf with the main functions and algorithms can be found [here](https://github.com/stack-of-tasks/pinocchio/blob/master/doc/pinocchio_cheat_sheet.pdf). ## Examples We provide some basic examples on how to use **Pinocchio** in Python in the [examples](https://github.com/stack-of-tasks/pinocchio/tree/master/examples) directory. Additional examples introducing **Pinocchio** are also available in the [documentation](https://gepettoweb.laas.fr/doc/stack-of-tasks/pinocchio/master/doxygen-html/md_doc_d-practical-exercises_intro.html). ## Tutorials **Pinocchio** comes with a large bunch of tutorials aiming at introducing the basic tools for robot control. Tutorial and training documents are listed [here](https://gepettoweb.laas.fr/doc/stack-of-tasks/pinocchio/master/doxygen-html/index.html#OverviewConclu). You can also consider the interactive jupyter notebook [set of tutorials](https://github.com/ymontmarin/_tps_robotique) developped by [Nicolas Mansard](https://gepettoweb.laas.fr/index.php/Members/NicolasMansard) and [Yann de Mont-Marin](https://github.com/ymontmarin). ## Pinocchio continuous integrations **Pinocchio** is constantly tested for several platforms and distributions, as reported below:

CI on ROS ROS
CI on Linux via APT linux
CI on OSX via Conda mac
CI on Windows via Conda windows
CI on Linux via Robotpkg Pipeline Status

## Performances **Pinocchio** exploits at best the sparsity induced by the kinematic tree of robotics systems. Thanks to modern programming language paradigms, **Pinocchio** is able to unroll most of the computations directly at compile time, allowing to achieve impressive performances for a large range of robots, as illustrated by the plot below, obtained on a standard laptop equipped with an Intel Core i7 CPU @ 2.4 GHz.

For other benchmarks, and mainly the capacity of Pinocchio to exploit at best your CPU capacities using advanced code generation techniques, we refer to the technical [paper](https://hal-laas.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01866228). In addition, the introspection done [here](https://github.com/rbd-benchmarks/rbd-benchmarks) may also help you to understand and compare the performances of the modern rigid body dynamics librairies. ## Ongoing developments If you want to follow the current developments, you can directly refer to the [devel branch](https://github.com/stack-of-tasks/pinocchio/tree/devel). The [master branch](https://github.com/stack-of-tasks/pinocchio/tree/master/) only contains the latest release. Any new Pull Request should then be submitted on the [devel branch](https://github.com/stack-of-tasks/pinocchio/tree/devel/). ## Installation **Pinocchio** can be easily installed on various Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.) and Unix distributions (Mac OS X, BSD, etc.). Please refer to the [installation procedure](http://stack-of-tasks.github.io/pinocchio/download.html). If you only need the Python bindings of Pinocchio, you may prefer to install it through [Conda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/). Please follow the procedure described [here](https://github.com/conda-forge/pinocchio-feedstock#installing-pinocchio). ### ROS **Pinocchio** is also deployed on ROS, you may follow its deployment status below. If you're interested in using Pinocchio on systems and/or with packages that integrate with the ROS ecosystem, we recommend the installation of Pinocchio via the binaries distributed via the ROS PPA. Here, you can install Pinocchio using `sudo apt install ros-$ROS_DISTRO-pinocchio`. This installs Pinocchio with HPP-FCL support and with Python bindings. You can then depend on Pinocchio in your `package.xml` config (`pinocchio`) and include it via CMake (`find_package(pinocchio REQUIRED)`) -- we include support and hooks to discover the package for both ROS1 and ROS2. An example can be found [here](https://github.com/wxmerkt/pinocchio_ros_example). Please note that we advise to always include the `pinocchio/fwd.hpp` header as the first include to avoid compilation errors from differing Boost-variant sizes. | ROS1 | |      | ROS2 | | | ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------ | ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Melodic** | [![](https://build.ros.org/job/Mbin_uB64__pinocchio__ubuntu_bionic_amd64__binary/badge/icon)](https://build.ros.org/job/Mbin_uB64__pinocchio__ubuntu_bionic_amd64__binary) |      | **Foxy** | [![](https://build.ros2.org/job/Fbin_uF64__pinocchio__ubuntu_focal_amd64__binary/badge/icon)](https://build.ros2.org/job/Fbin_uF64__pinocchio__ubuntu_focal_amd64__binary) | | **Noetic** | [![](https://build.ros.org/job/Nbin_uF64__pinocchio__ubuntu_focal_amd64__binary/badge/icon)](https://build.ros.org/job/Nbin_uF64__pinocchio__ubuntu_focal_amd64__binary) |      | **Galactic** | [![](https://build.ros2.org/job/Gbin_uF64__pinocchio__ubuntu_focal_amd64__binary/badge/icon)](https://build.ros2.org/job/Gbin_uF64__pinocchio__ubuntu_focal_amd64__binary) | | | |      | **Humble** | [![](https://build.ros2.org/job/Hbin_uJ64__pinocchio__ubuntu_jammy_amd64__binary/badge/icon)](https://build.ros2.org/job/Hbin_uJ64__pinocchio__ubuntu_jammy_amd64__binary) | | | |      | **Rolling** | [![](https://build.ros2.org/job/Rbin_uJ64__pinocchio__ubuntu_jammy_amd64__binary/badge/icon)](https://build.ros2.org/job/Rbin_uJ64__pinocchio__ubuntu_jammy_amd64__binary) | ## Visualization **Pinocchio** provides support for many open-source and free visualizers: - [Gepetto Viewer](https://github.com/Gepetto/gepetto-viewer): a C++ viewer based on [OpenSceneGraph](https://github.com/openscenegraph/OpenSceneGraph) with Python bindings and Blender export.
