moveit_controller_manager::MoveItControllerManager Class Reference

MoveIt! does not enforce how controllers are implemented. To make your controllers usable by MoveIt, this interface needs to be implemented. The main purpose of this interface is to expose the set of known controllers and potentially to allow activating and deactivating them, if multiple controllers are available. More...

virtual void moveit_controller_manager::MoveItControllerManager::getActiveControllers ( std::vector< std::string > &  names) [pure virtual]

Get the list of active controllers. If there is only one controller in the system, this will be active. In cases where multiple controllers exist, and they operate on overlaping sets of joints, not all controllers should be active at the same time.

Controllers are managed by name. Given a name, return an object that can perform operations on the corresponding controller.

virtual void moveit_controller_manager::MoveItControllerManager::getControllerJoints ( const std::string &  name,
std::vector< std::string > &  joints 
) [pure virtual]

In order to decide which controller to use, it is necessary to reason about the joints a controller operates on. This function reports the joints a controller operates on, given the controller name.

virtual void moveit_controller_manager::MoveItControllerManager::getControllersList ( std::vector< std::string > &  names) [pure virtual]

Get the list of known controller names.

Report the state of a controller, given its name.

virtual bool moveit_controller_manager::MoveItControllerManager::switchControllers ( const std::vector< std::string > &  activate,
const std::vector< std::string > &  deactivate 
) [pure virtual]

Activate and deactivate controllers.
