Detailed Description

Generic template that reads state-data from a robot controller and publishes matching messages to various ROS topics.

Users should replace the default class members to implement robot-specific behavior.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

industrial_robot_client::robot_state_interface::RobotStateInterface::RobotStateInterface ( )

Default constructor.

Definition at line 44 of file robot_state_interface.cpp.

void industrial_robot_client::robot_state_interface::RobotStateInterface::add_handler	(	MessageHandler *	handler,
		bool	allow_replace = `true`
	)		`[inline]`

Add a new handler.

Parameters:

new	message-handler for a specific msg-type (ALREADY INITIALIZED).
replace	existing handler (of same msg-type), if exists

SmplMsgConnection* industrial_robot_client::robot_state_interface::RobotStateInterface::get_connection ( ) [inline]

get current robot-connection instance.

Definition at line 113 of file robot_state_interface.h.

MessageManager* industrial_robot_client::robot_state_interface::RobotStateInterface::get_manager ( ) [inline]

get active message-manager object

Definition at line 123 of file robot_state_interface.h.

bool industrial_robot_client::robot_state_interface::RobotStateInterface::init ( )

Initialize robot connection using default method.

Definition at line 51 of file robot_state_interface.cpp.

bool industrial_robot_client::robot_state_interface::RobotStateInterface::init ( SmplMsgConnection * connection )

Initialize robot connection using specified method.

Parameters:

connection new robot-connection instance (ALREADY INITIALIZED).

Definition at line 71 of file robot_state_interface.cpp.

bool industrial_robot_client::robot_state_interface::RobotStateInterface::init	(	SmplMsgConnection *	connection,
		std::vector< std::string > &	joint_names
	)

Initialize robot connection using specified method and joint-names.

Parameters:

connection	new robot-connection instance (ALREADY INITIALIZED).
joint_names	list of joint-names for ROS topic Count and order should match data sent to robot connection. Use blank-name to skip (not publish) a joint-position
