Detailed Description

Plugin which checks if this model has touched some specific target for a given time continuously and exclusively.

After the touch is completed, the plugin is disabled. It can be re-enabled through a Gazebo transport topic.

It requires that contact sensors be placed in at least one link on this model.

Parameters:

<sensor> Name of contact sensor attached to one of this model's links. There can be multiple sensor elements in case many links are checked.

<target> Scoped name of collision which we want to be touching. This can be a substring of the desired collision name so we match more than one collision. For example, using the name of a model will match all its collisions.

<time> Target time in seconds to maintain contact.

<namespace> Namespace for transport topics: /<namespace>/enable : Topic used to enable and disable the plugin. /<namespace>/touched : Topic where a message is published once the touch is complete.

<enabled> Set this to true so the plugin works from the start and doesn't need to be enabled.
