quantum-robot is a Python package for quantum-like perception modeling
for robotics. The package exploits Qiksit
framework, implementing the models on quantum circuits which can be
simulated on a classical computer or sent to a quantum backend (service
provided by IBM Quantum
Experience).
The project was started in 2019 by Davide Lanza as a Master thesis research, with the help of Fulvio Mastrogiovanni and Paolo Solinas. It is currently maintained by Davide Lanza.
Check the Getting Started section of the Documentation for the Installation Guide.
Demo Notebooks and Documentation is made available as well
To install the package and run tests directly from the repository, poetry is suggested:
git clone https://github.com/Davidelanz/quantum-robot.git
poetry install
poetry run pytest .
To correctly run all the tests, one needs a redis server on port 6379:
docker run --name redis_contaner -p 6379:6379 -d redis
To open an interactive session using the provided notebooks in the docs/notebooks directory, one can use poetry as well:
poetry run jupyter-notebook
If you are interested in the project, we welcome new contributors of all experience levels. For any questions, contact the maintainer.
An example module with the docstring standard we adopted is available here.
