Detailed Description

JointConstraintSampler is a class that allows the sampling of joints in a particular group of the robot, subject to a set of individual joint constraints.

The set of individual joint constraint reduce the allowable bounds used in the sampling. Unconstrained values will be sampled within their limits.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

constraint_samplers::JointConstraintSampler::JointConstraintSampler	(	const planning_scene::PlanningSceneConstPtr &	scene,
		const std::string &	group_name
	)		`[inline]`

Constructor

Parameters:

[in]	scene	The planning scene used to check the constraint
[in]	group_name	The group name associated with the constraint. Will be invalid if no group name is passed in or the joint model group cannot be found in the kinematic model

Member Function Documentation

void constraint_samplers::JointConstraintSampler::clear ( ) [protected, virtual]

Clears all data from the constraint.

Reimplemented from constraint_samplers::ConstraintSampler.

bool constraint_samplers::JointConstraintSampler::configure ( const moveit_msgs::Constraints & constr ) [virtual]

Configures a joint constraint given a Constraints message.

If more than one constraint for a particular joint is specified, the most restrictive set of bounds will be used (highest minimum value, lowest maximum value). For the configuration to be successful, the following condition must be met, in addition to the conditions specified in configure(const std::vector<kinematic_constraints::JointConstraint> &jc) :

The Constraints message must contain one or more valid joint constraints (where validity is judged by the ability to configure a JointConstraint)

Parameters:

[in] constr The message containing the constraints

Returns:: True if the conditions are met, otherwise false

Implements constraint_samplers::ConstraintSampler.

bool constraint_samplers::JointConstraintSampler::configure ( const std::vector< kinematic_constraints::JointConstraint > & jc )

Configures a joint constraint given a vector of constraints.

If more than one constraint for a particular joint is specified, the most restrictive set of bounds will be used (highest minimum value, lowest_maximum value. For the configuration to be successful, the following conditions must be met:

The vector must contain one or more valid, enabled joint constraints

At least one constraint must reference a joint in the indicated group. If no additional bounds exist for this group, then robot_state::JointStateGroup::setToRandomValues can be used to generate a sample independently from the constraint_samplers infrastructure.

The constraints must allow a sampleable region for all joints, where the most restrictive minimum bound is less than the most restrictive maximum bound

Parameters:

[in] jc The vector of joint constraints

Returns:: True if the conditions are met, otherwise false

std::size_t constraint_samplers::JointConstraintSampler::getConstrainedJointCount ( ) const [inline]

Gets the number of constrained joints - joints that have an additional bound beyond the joint limits.

Returns:: The number of constrained joints.

Definition at line 135 of file default_constraint_samplers.h.

std::size_t constraint_samplers::JointConstraintSampler::getUnconstrainedJointCount ( ) const [inline]

Gets the number of unconstrained joints - joint that have no additional bound beyond the joint limits.

Returns:: The number of unconstrained joints.

Definition at line 146 of file default_constraint_samplers.h.

bool constraint_samplers::JointConstraintSampler::project	(	robot_state::JointStateGroup *	jsg,
		const robot_state::RobotState &	reference_state,
		unsigned int	max_attempts
	)		`[virtual]`

Project a sample given the constraints, updating the joint state group. This function allows the parameter max_attempts to be set.

Parameters:

[out]	jsg	The joint state group which specifies the state to be projected, according to the constraints
[in]	reference_state	Reference state that will be used to do transforms or perform other actions
[in]	max_attempts	The maximum number of times to attempt to draw a sample. If no sample has been drawn in this number of attempts, false will be returned.

Returns:: True if a sample was successfully projected, false otherwise

Implements constraint_samplers::ConstraintSampler.

Definition at line 180 of file default_constraint_samplers.cpp.

bool constraint_samplers::JointConstraintSampler::sample	(	robot_state::JointStateGroup *	jsg,
		const robot_state::RobotState &	reference_state,
		unsigned int	max_attempts
	)		`[virtual]`

Samples given the constraints, populating the joint state group. This function allows the parameter max_attempts to be set.

Parameters:

[out]	jsg	The joint state group into which the values will be placed
[in]	reference_state	Reference state that will be used to do transforms or perform other actions
[in]	max_attempts	The maximum number of times to attempt to draw a sample. If no sample has been drawn in this number of attempts, false will be returned.
