Member Function Documentation

void gazebo::physics::JointController::AddJoint ( JointPtr  _joint)

Add a joint to control.

Parameters
[in]_jointJoint to control.
std::map<std::string, double> gazebo::physics::JointController::GetForces ( ) const

Get all the applied forces.

Returns
A map<joint_name, force> that contains force values set by the user of the JointController.
std::map<std::string, JointPtr> gazebo::physics::JointController::GetJoints ( ) const

Get all the joints.

Returns
A map<joint_name, joint_ptr> to all the joints that can be controlled.
common::Time gazebo::physics::JointController::GetLastUpdateTime ( ) const

Get the last time the controller was updated.

Returns
Last time the controller was updated.
std::map<std::string, common::PID> gazebo::physics::JointController::GetPositionPIDs ( ) const

Get all the position PID controllers.

Returns
A map<joint_name, PID> for all the position PID controllers.
std::map<std::string, double> gazebo::physics::JointController::GetPositions ( ) const

Get all the position PID set points.

Returns
A map<joint_name, position> that contains position values set by the user of the JointController.
std::map<std::string, double> gazebo::physics::JointController::GetVelocities ( ) const

Get all the velocity PID set points.

Returns
A map<joint_name, position> that contains velocity values set by the user of the JointController.
std::map<std::string, common::PID> gazebo::physics::JointController::GetVelocityPIDs ( ) const

Get all the velocity PID controllers.

Returns
A map<joint_name, PID> for all the velocity PID controllers.
void gazebo::physics::JointController::Reset ( )

Reset all commands.

void gazebo::physics::JointController::SetJointPosition ( const std::string &  _name,
double  _position,
int  _index = 0 
)

Set the positions of a Joint by name.

See Also
JointController::SetJointPosition(JointPtr, double)
void gazebo::physics::JointController::SetJointPosition ( JointPtr  _joint,
double  _position,
int  _index = 0 
)

Set the positions of a Joint by name The position is specified in native units, which means, if you are using metric system, it's meters for SliderJoint and radians for HingeJoint, etc.

Implementation: In order to change the position of a Joint inside a Model, this call must recursively crawl through all the connected children Link's in this Model, and update each Link Pose affected by this Joint angle update. Warning: There is no constraint satisfaction being done here, traversal through the kinematic graph has unexpected behavior if you try to set the joint position of a link inside a loop structure. Warning:

Parameters
[in]_jointJoint to set.
[in]_positionPosition of the joint.
void gazebo::physics::JointController::SetJointPositions ( const std::map< std::string, double > &  _jointPositions)

Set the positions of a set of Joint's.

See Also
JointController::SetJointPosition(JointPtr, double)
void gazebo::physics::JointController::SetPositionPID ( const std::string &  _jointName,
const common::PID _pid 
)

Set the position PID values for a joint.

Parameters
[in]_jointNameScoped name of the joint.
[in]_pidNew position PID controller.
bool gazebo::physics::JointController::SetPositionTarget ( const std::string &  _jointName,
double  _target 
)

Set the target position for the position PID controller.

Parameters
[in]_jointNameScoped name of the joint.
[in]_targetPosition target.
Returns
False if the joint was not found.
void gazebo::physics::JointController::SetVelocityPID ( const std::string &  _jointName,
const common::PID _pid 
)

Set the velocity PID values for a joint.

Parameters
[in]_jointNameScoped name of the joint.
[in]_pidNew velocity PID controller.
bool gazebo::physics::JointController::SetVelocityTarget ( const std::string &  _jointName,
double  _target 
)

Set the target velocity for the velocity PID controller.

Parameters
[in]_jointNameScoped name of the joint.
[in]_targetVelocity target.
Returns
False if the joint was not found.
void gazebo::physics::JointController::Update ( )

Update the joint control.
