Detailed Description

A class that allows the sampling of IK constraints.

An IK constraint can have a position constraint, and orientation constraint, or both. The constraint will attempt to sample a pose that adheres to the constraint, and then solves IK for that pose.

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

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

Configures the IK constraint given a constraints message.

If the constraints message contains both orientation constraints and positions constraints, the function iterates through each potential pair until it finds a pair of position orientation constraints that lead to valid configuration of kinematic constraints. It creates an IKSamplingPose from these and calls configure(const IKSamplingPose &sp). If no pair leads to both having valid configuration, it will attempt to iterate through the position constraints in the Constraints message, calling configure(const IKSamplingPose &sp) on the resulting IKSamplingPose. Finally, if no valid position constraints exist it will attempt the same procedure with the orientation constraints. If no valid position or orientation constraints exist, it will return false. For more information, see the docs for configure(const IKSamplingPose &sp).

Parameters:

constr The Constraint message

Returns:: True if some valid position and orientation constraints exist and the overloaded configuration function returns true. Otherwise, returns false.

Implements constraint_samplers::ConstraintSampler.

bool constraint_samplers::IKConstraintSampler::configure ( const IKSamplingPose & sp )

Configures the Constraint given a IKSamplingPose.

This function performs the actual constraint configuration. It returns true if the following are true:

The IKSamplingPose has either a valid orientation or position constraint
The position and orientation constraints are specified for the same link

There is a valid IK solver instance for the indicated group. This will be only be the case if a group has a specific solver associated with it. For situations where the super-group doesn't have a solver, but all subgroups have solvers, then use the ConstraintSamplerManager.

The kinematic model has both the links associated with the IK solver's tip and base frames.

The link specified in the constraints is the tip link of the IK solver

Parameters:

[in] sp The variable that contains the position and orientation constraints

Returns:: True if all conditions are met and the group specified in the constructor is valid. Otherwise, false.

const std::string & constraint_samplers::IKConstraintSampler::getLinkName ( ) const

virtual const std::string& constraint_samplers::IKConstraintSampler::getName ( ) const [inline, virtual]

Returns:: string of name

Definition at line 483 of file default_constraint_samplers.h.

const kinematic_constraints::OrientationConstraintPtr& constraint_samplers::IKConstraintSampler::getOrientationConstraint ( ) const [inline]

Gets the orientation constraint associated with this sampler.

Returns:: The orientation constraint, or an empty shared_ptr if none has been specified

Definition at line 400 of file default_constraint_samplers.h.

const kinematic_constraints::PositionConstraintPtr& constraint_samplers::IKConstraintSampler::getPositionConstraint ( ) const [inline]

Gets the position constraint associated with this sampler.

Returns:: The position constraint, or an empty shared_ptr if none has been specified

Definition at line 390 of file default_constraint_samplers.h.

double constraint_samplers::IKConstraintSampler::getSamplingVolume ( ) const

Gets the volume associated with the position and orientation constraints.

This function computes the volume of the sampling constraint. The volume associated with the position constraint is either the product of the volume of all position constraint regions, or 1.0 otherwise. The volume associated with the orientation constraint is the product of all the axis tolerances, or 1.0 otherwise. If both are specified, the product of the volumes is returned.

Returns:: Returns the sum of the volumes of all constraint regions associated with the position and orientation constraints.

Definition at line 310 of file default_constraint_samplers.cpp.

bool constraint_samplers::IKConstraintSampler::loadIKSolver ( ) [protected]

Performs checks and sets various internal values associated with the IK solver.

Returns:: True if the IK solver exists and if it associated with the expected base frame and tip frames. Otherwise false.

Definition at line 337 of file default_constraint_samplers.cpp.

bool constraint_samplers::IKConstraintSampler::project	(	robot_state::RobotState &	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]	state	The state into which the values will be placed. Only values for the group are written.
[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 583 of file default_constraint_samplers.cpp.

bool constraint_samplers::IKConstraintSampler::sample	(	robot_state::RobotState &	state,
		const robot_state::RobotState &	reference_state,
		unsigned int	max_attempts
	)		`[virtual]`

Produces an IK sample.

This function first calls the samplePose function to produce a position and orientation in the constraint region. It then calls IK on that pose. If a pose that satisfies the constraints can be determined, and IK returns a solution for that pose, then the joint values associated with the joint group will be populated with the results of the IK, and the function will return true. The function will attempt to sample a pose up to max_attempts number of times, and then call IK on that value. If IK is not successful, it will repeat the pose sample and IK procedure max_attempt times. If in any iteration a valid pose cannot be sample within max_attempts time, it will return false.

Parameters:

jsg	The joint state group in question. Must match the group passed in the constructor or will return false.
ks	A reference state that will be used for transforming the IK poses
max_attempts	The number of attempts to both sample and try IK

Returns:: True if a valid sample pose was produced and valid IK found for that pose. Otherwise false.

Implements constraint_samplers::ConstraintSampler.

bool constraint_samplers::IKConstraintSampler::sampleHelper	(	robot_state::RobotState &	state,
		const robot_state::RobotState &	reference_state,
		unsigned int	max_attempts,
		bool	project
	)		`[protected]`

Definition at line 541 of file default_constraint_samplers.cpp.

bool constraint_samplers::IKConstraintSampler::samplePose	(	Eigen::Vector3d &	pos,
		Eigen::Quaterniond &	quat,
		const robot_state::RobotState &	ks,
		unsigned int	max_attempts
	)

Returns a pose that falls within the constraint regions.

If a position constraint is specified, then a position is produced by selecting a random region among the constraint regions and taking a sample in that region. If no region is valid the function returns false. If no position constraint is specified, a position is produced by assigning a random valid value to each group joint, performing forward kinematics, and taking the resulting pose. If an orientation constraint is specified, then an quaternion is produced by sampling a difference value within the axis tolerances and applying the difference rotation to the orientation constraint target. Otherwise, a random quaternion is produced.

Parameters:

[out]	pos	The position component of the sample
[out]	quat	The orientation component of the sample
[in]	ks	The reference state used for performing transforms
[in]	max_attempts	The maximum attempts to try to sample - applies only to the position constraint
