Detailed Description

This class exists as a union of constraint samplers. It contains a vector of constraint samplers, and will sample from each of them.

When asked to sample it will call the samplers in a sorted order that samples more general groups - like a robot's whole body - before sampling more specific groups, such as a robot's arm. Member samplers can operate on all or part of a joint state group vector, with later samplers potentially overwriting previous samplers.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

constraint_samplers::UnionConstraintSampler::UnionConstraintSampler ( const planning_scene::PlanningSceneConstPtr scene,
const std::string &  group_name,
const std::vector< ConstraintSamplerPtr > &  samplers 
)

Constructor, which will re-order its internal list of samplers on construction.

The samplers need not all refer to the same group, as long as all are part of the kinematic model. The sampler will sort the samplers based on a set of criteria - where A and B are two samplers being considered for swapping by a sort algorithm:

  • If the set of links updated by the group of A are a proper subset of the set of links updated by the group of B, A and B are not swapped. If the updated links of B are a proper set of the updated links of A, A and B are swapped.
  • Otherwise, the groups associated with A and B are either disjoint in terms of updated links or have an equivalent group. In this case, it is determined if any updated links in the group for A exist in the frame dependency of B, or vice-versa.
  • If A depends on B, and B depends on A, a warning message is printed that circular dependencies are likely to lead to bad samples. A and B are not swapped.
  • If one of the frame dependencies of B is a link updated by A, but not vice-versa, the samplers are swapped.
  • If one of the frame dependencies of A is a link updated by B, but not vice-versa, the samplers are not swapped.
  • If no dependency exists, the samplers are swapped according to alphabetical order.
Parameters:
[in]sceneThe planning scene
[in]group_nameThe group name is ignored, as each sampler already has a group name
[in]samplersA vector of already configured samplers that will be applied for future samples
Returns:

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool constraint_samplers::UnionConstraintSampler::canService ( const moveit_msgs::Constraints &  constr) const [inline, virtual]

No-op, as the union constraint sampler can act on anything.

Parameters:
[in]constrConstraint message
Returns:
Always true

Definition at line 133 of file union_constraint_sampler.h.

virtual bool constraint_samplers::UnionConstraintSampler::configure ( const moveit_msgs::Constraints &  constr) [inline, virtual]

No-op, as the union constraint sampler is for already configured samplers.

Parameters:
[in]constrConstraint message
Returns:
Always true

Implements constraint_samplers::ConstraintSampler.

Definition at line 121 of file union_constraint_sampler.h.

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

Get the name of the constraint sampler, for debugging purposes should be in CamelCase format.

Returns:
string of name

Implements constraint_samplers::ConstraintSampler.

Definition at line 162 of file union_constraint_sampler.h.

const std::vector<ConstraintSamplerPtr>& constraint_samplers::UnionConstraintSampler::getSamplers ( ) const [inline]

Gets the sorted internal list of constraint samplers.

Returns:
The sorted internal list of constraint samplers

Definition at line 108 of file union_constraint_sampler.h.

bool constraint_samplers::UnionConstraintSampler::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]stateThe state into which the values will be placed. Only values for the group are written.
[in]max_attemptsThe 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 143 of file union_constraint_sampler.cpp.

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

Produces a sample from all configured samplers.

This function will call each sampler in sorted order independently of the group associated with the sampler. The function will also operate independently of the joint state group passed in as an argument. If any sampler fails, the sample fails altogether.

Parameters:
[in]stateState where the group sample is written to
[in]reference_stateReference kinematic state that will be passed through to samplers
[in]max_attemptsMax attempts, which will be passed through to samplers
Returns:
True if all invidual samplers return true

Implements constraint_samplers::ConstraintSampler.
