Function Documentation

bool joint_limits_interface::getJointLimits	(	urdf::JointConstSharedPtr	urdf_joint,
		JointLimits &	limits
	)		[inline]

Populate a JointLimits instance from URDF joint data.

Parameters:

[in]	urdf_joint	URDF joint.
[out]	limits	Where URDF joint limit data gets written into. Limits in urdf_joint will overwrite existing values. Values in limits not present in urdf_joint remain unchanged.

Returns:

True if urdf_joint has a valid limits specification, false otherwise.

bool joint_limits_interface::getJointLimits	(	const std::string &	joint_name,
		const ros::NodeHandle &	nh,
		JointLimits &	limits
	)		[inline]

Populate a JointLimits instance from the ROS parameter server.

It is assumed that the following parameter structure is followed on the provided NodeHandle. Unspecified parameters are simply not added to the joint limits specification.

 joint_limits:
   foo_joint:
     has_position_limits: true
     min_position: 0.0
     max_position: 1.0
     has_velocity_limits: true
     max_velocity: 2.0
     has_acceleration_limits: true
     max_acceleration: 5.0
     has_jerk_limits: true
     max_jerk: 100.0
     has_effort_limits: true
     max_effort: 20.0
   bar_joint:
     has_position_limits: false # Continuous joint
     has_velocity_limits: true
     max_velocity: 4.0

This specification is similar to the one used by MoveIt!, but additionally supports jerk and effort limits.

Parameters:

[in]	joint_name	Name of joint whose limits are to be fetched.
[in]	nh	NodeHandle where the joint limits are specified.
[out]	limits	Where joint limit data gets written into. Limits specified in the parameter server will overwrite existing values. Values in limits not specified in the parameter server remain unchanged.

Returns:

True if a limits specification is found (ie. the joint_limits/joint_name parameter exists in nh), false otherwise.

bool joint_limits_interface::getSoftJointLimits	(	urdf::JointConstSharedPtr	urdf_joint,
		SoftJointLimits &	soft_limits
	)		[inline]

Populate a SoftJointLimits instance from URDF joint data.

Parameters:

[in]	urdf_joint	URDF joint.
[out]	soft_limits	Where URDF soft joint limit data gets written into.

Returns:

True if urdf_joint has a valid soft limits specification, false otherwise.
