| """ |
| All-in-one tmux launcher for SONIC VLA inference. |
| |
| Starts the inference stack in a single tmux session: |
| |
| Window 0 — inference (4 panes): |
| ┌───────────────────────┬───────────────────────┐ |
| │ Pane 0: C++ Deploy │ Pane 1: VLA Inference │ |
| │ (gear_sonic_deploy) │ (.venv_inference) │ |
| ├───────────────────────┼───────────────────────┤ |
| │ Pane 2: Keyboard Pub │ Pane 3: Data Exporter │ |
| │ (.venv_inference) │ (.venv_data_collection)│ |
| └───────────────────────┴───────────────────────┘ |
| |
| Window 1 — sim (only when --sim is passed): |
| ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ |
| │ MuJoCo Simulator (run_sim_loop.py) │ |
| │ (.venv_sim) │ |
| └─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ |
| |
| Prerequisites: |
| - tmux installed (sudo apt install tmux) |
| - Virtual environments set up: |
| bash install_scripts/install_inference.sh -> .venv_inference |
| bash install_scripts/install_data_collection.sh -> .venv_data_collection (optional, for recording) |
| - gear_sonic_deploy built (see docs) |
| - Isaac-GR00T PolicyServer running separately |
| |
| Usage (from repo root — no venv activation needed): |
| python gear_sonic/scripts/launch_inference.py # real robot |
| python gear_sonic/scripts/launch_inference.py --sim # MuJoCo sim |
| python gear_sonic/scripts/launch_inference.py --no-data-exporter # no recording pane |
