Detailed Description

This class publishes data concerning the shadowhand /shadowarm, like position, targets, forces, ... on different topics. To publish those data, just call the publish() function.

The data are published on three different topics. Two of them are joint_states topics (joint names, joint angles, joint velocities, joint efforts), which are then transformed into coordinates by two different robot_state_publisher (a ROS package). This is useful to visualize the data in rviz (part of ROS). A third topic is \/prefix\/shadowhand_data. The messages published on this last topic are better formatted for our hardware.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

shadowrobot::SRPublisher::SRPublisher ( boost::shared_ptr< SRArticulatedRobot sr_art_robot)

Constructor initializing the ROS node, and setting the topic to which it publishes. The frequency at which this node will publish data is set by a parameter, read from ROS parameter server.

Parameters:
sr_art_robotA Shadowhand or Shadowarm object, where the information to be published comes from.

Definition at line 53 of file sr_publisher.cpp.

Destructor.
