Detailed Description

The Virtual Shadowhand can be used as a simulator. As both the real hand and the virtual hand are children from the shadowhand class, using a virtual or a real hand doesn't change anything in the way you call them in your programs.

Member Function Documentation

SRArticulatedRobot::JointsMap shadowrobot::VirtualShadowhand::getAllJointsData ( ) [virtual]

Get the data for all the joints.

Returns:: a mapping between the joints names and the information for each joint.

Implements shadowrobot::SRArticulatedRobot.

Definition at line 340 of file virtual_shadowhand.cpp.

void shadowrobot::VirtualShadowhand::getConfig ( std::string joint_name ) [virtual]

Get the config of the palm

Todo:: Not implemented yet

Parameters:

joint_name

Implements shadowrobot::SRArticulatedRobot.

Definition at line 408 of file virtual_shadowhand.cpp.

JointControllerData shadowrobot::VirtualShadowhand::getContrl ( std::string contrlr_name ) [virtual]

Get the controller parameters for a given controller name.

Parameters:

contrlr_name the name of the controller.

Returns:: The parameters of this controller

Implements shadowrobot::SRArticulatedRobot.

Definition at line 383 of file virtual_shadowhand.cpp.

std::vector< DiagnosticData > shadowrobot::VirtualShadowhand::getDiagnostics ( ) [virtual]

Generates a set of random data to be published by the diagnostic publisher, but keep the position and target as they are ( those are updated by the sendupdate() function).

Returns:: A vector containing all the diagnostics for the hand (motor information, etc...)

Implements shadowrobot::SRArticulatedRobot.

Definition at line 413 of file virtual_shadowhand.cpp.

JointData shadowrobot::VirtualShadowhand::getJointData ( std::string joint_name ) [virtual]

In the virtual hand, getJointData() simply fetches the data from a given joint in the joints_map. As the targets and positions are up to date, there's no need of reading other values here for those two values. However, we generate random values for the other data (temperature, current, etc...)

Parameters:

joint_name The name of the joint, as specified in joints_map.

Returns:: The information regarding this joint.

Implements shadowrobot::SRArticulatedRobot.

Definition at line 312 of file virtual_shadowhand.cpp.

void shadowrobot::VirtualShadowhand::initializeMap ( ) [protected]

Initialize a mapping for the joints as well as a mapping for the controllers.

the parameters for the motors

Definition at line 68 of file virtual_shadowhand.cpp.

short shadowrobot::VirtualShadowhand::sendupdate	(	std::string	joint_name,
		double	target
	)		`[virtual]`

This function will set the target of the object to the given angle. It will also set the position to this target.

Todo:: This could be improved by implementing a control algorithm in this theoretic hand.

Parameters:

joint_name	The Joint in joints_map you wish to send the target to.
target	The target in degree

Returns:: 0 if success ; -1 if error

Implements shadowrobot::SRArticulatedRobot.

Definition at line 221 of file virtual_shadowhand.cpp.

short shadowrobot::VirtualShadowhand::setConfig ( std::vector< std::string > myConfig ) [virtual]

Set the config of the palm

Todo:: Not implemented yet

Parameters:

myConfig

Returns:

Implements shadowrobot::SRArticulatedRobot.

Definition at line 402 of file virtual_shadowhand.cpp.

short shadowrobot::VirtualShadowhand::setContrl	(	std::string	contrlr_name,
		JointControllerData	ctrlr_data
	)		`[virtual]`

Set the controller parameters for a given controller name.

Parameters:

contrlr_name	The name of the controller to setup.
ctrlr_data	The data to pass to this controller.

Returns:: 0 if success.

Implements shadowrobot::SRArticulatedRobot.

Definition at line 363 of file virtual_shadowhand.cpp.

double shadowrobot::VirtualShadowhand::toDegrees ( double rad ) [inline, protected]

Convert an angle in radian to an angle in degrees.

Parameters:

rad	the angle in rads

Returns:: the value in degrees.

Definition at line 127 of file virtual_shadowhand.h.

double shadowrobot::VirtualShadowhand::toRad ( double deg ) [inline, protected]

Convert an angle in degree to an angle in radians.

Parameters:

deg	the angle in degrees

Returns:: the value in rads.

Definition at line 117 of file virtual_shadowhand.h.
