QpSolverCollection

Unified C++ interface for quadratic programming solvers

Features

Unified C++ interface to many QP solvers
Can be built as a standalone package or ROS package
High portability decoupled from each QP solver by Pimpl technique

Supported QP solvers

Installation

Installation procedure

It is assumed that ROS is installed.

Install the QP solver you wish to use according to this section. You can skip installing QP solvers that you do not use.
Setup catkin workspace.

$ mkdir -p ~/ros/ws_qp_solver_collection/src
$ cd ~/ros/ws_qp_solver_collection
$ wstool init src
$ wstool set -t src isri-aist/QpSolverCollection git@github.com:isri-aist/QpSolverCollection.git --git -y
$ wstool update -t src

Install dependent packages.

$ source /opt/ros/${ROS_DISTRO}/setup.bash
$ rosdep install -y -r --from-paths src --ignore-src

Build a package.

$ catkin build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo <qp-solver-flags> --catkin-make-args all tests

See this section for <qp-solver-flags>.

QP solver installation

As all supported QP solvers are installed in CI, please refer to the installation procedure.
Please refer to the license specified in each QP solver when using it.

QLD

Install eigen-qld.
Add -DENABLE_QLD=ON to the catkin build command (i.e., <qp-solver-flags>).

QuadProg

Install eigen-quadprog.
Add -DENABLE_QUADPROG=ON to the catkin build command (i.e., <qp-solver-flags>).

JRLQP

Install master branch of jrl-qp. Add -DENABLE_JRLQP=ON to the catkin build command (i.e., <qp-solver-flags>).

qpOASES

Install master branch of qpOASES with -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON cmake option.
Add -DENABLE_QPOASES=ON to the catkin build command (i.e., <qp-solver-flags>). Also, add -DQPOASES_INCLUDE_DIR=<path to qpOASES.hpp> and -DQPOASES_LIBRARY_DIR=<path to libqpOASES.so> to the catkin build command.

OSQP

Install master branch of osqp and osqp-eigen.
Add -DENABLE_OSQP=ON to the catkin build command (i.e., <qp-solver-flags>).

NASOQ

HPIPM

Install master branch of blasfeo and hpipm.
Add /opt/blasfeo/lib and /opt/hpipm/lib to the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Add -DENABLE_HPIPM=ON to the catkin build command (i.e., <qp-solver-flags>).

ProxQP

Install main branch of proxsuite.
Add -DENABLE_PROXQP=ON to the catkin build command (i.e., <qp-solver-flags>).

qpmad

Install master branch of qpmad.
Add -DENABLE_QPMAD=ON to the catkin build command (i.e., <qp-solver-flags>).

LSSOL (private)

Install eigen-lssol.
Add -DENABLE_LSSOL=ON to the catkin build command (i.e., <qp-solver-flags>).

How to use

See documentation and test for examples of solving QP problems.

The following is a simple sample.

// sample.cpp

#include <qp_solver_collection/QpSolverCollection.h>

int main()
{
  int dim_var = 2;
  int dim_eq = 1;
  int dim_ineq = 0;
  QpSolverCollection::QpCoeff qp_coeff;
  qp_coeff.setup(dim_var, dim_eq, dim_ineq);
  qp_coeff.obj_mat_ << 2.0, 0.5, 0.5, 1.0;
  qp_coeff.obj_vec_ << 1.0, 1.0;
  qp_coeff.eq_mat_ << 1.0, 1.0;
  qp_coeff.eq_vec_ << 1.0;
  qp_coeff.x_min_.setZero();
  qp_coeff.x_max_.setConstant(1000.0);

  auto qp_solver = QpSolverCollection::allocateQpSolver(QpSolverCollection::QpSolverType::Any);
  Eigen::VectorXd solution = qp_solver->solve(qp_coeff);
  std::cout << "solution: " << solution.transpose() << std::endl;

  return 0;
}

In addition to building a sample in a catkin package, you can also build it standalone as follows.

$ g++ sample.cpp `pkg-config --cflags qp_solver_collection` `pkg-config --libs qp_solver_collection`
