Constructor & Destructor Documentation

constraint_samplers::ConstraintSampler::ConstraintSampler	(	const planning_scene::PlanningSceneConstPtr &	scene,
		const std::string &	group_name
	)

Constructor.

Parameters:

[in]	scene	The planning scene that will be used for constraint checking
[in]	group_name	The group name associated with the constraint. Will be invalid if no group name is passed in or the joint model group cannot be found in the kinematic model

Definition at line 39 of file constraint_sampler.cpp.

virtual constraint_samplers::ConstraintSampler::~ConstraintSampler ( ) [inline, virtual]

Definition at line 78 of file constraint_sampler.h.

Member Function Documentation

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

Clears all data from the constraint.

Reimplemented in constraint_samplers::IKConstraintSampler, and constraint_samplers::JointConstraintSampler.

Definition at line 50 of file constraint_sampler.cpp.

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

Function for configuring a constraint sampler given a Constraints message.

Parameters:

[in] constr The constraints from which to construct a sampler

Returns:: True if the configuration is successful. If true, isValid should also true. If false, isValid should return false

Implemented in constraint_samplers::IKConstraintSampler, constraint_samplers::UnionConstraintSampler, and constraint_samplers::JointConstraintSampler.

const std::vector<std::string>& constraint_samplers::ConstraintSampler::getFrameDependency ( ) const [inline]

Return the names of the mobile frames whose pose is needed when sample() is called.

Mobile frames mean frames other than the reference frame of the kinematic model. These frames may move when the kinematic state changes. Frame dependency can help determine an ordering from a set of constraint samplers - for more information see the derived class documentation for UnionConstraintSampler.

Returns:: The list of names whose pose is needed

Definition at line 135 of file constraint_sampler.h.

const std::string& constraint_samplers::ConstraintSampler::getGroupName ( ) const [inline]

Gets the group name set in the constructor.

Returns:: The group name

Definition at line 97 of file constraint_sampler.h.

const robot_state::GroupStateValidityCallbackFn& constraint_samplers::ConstraintSampler::getGroupStateValidityCallback ( ) const [inline]

Gets the callback used to determine state validity during sampling. The sampler will attempt to satisfy this constraint if possible, but there is no guarantee.

Definition at line 144 of file constraint_sampler.h.

const robot_model::JointModelGroup* constraint_samplers::ConstraintSampler::getJointModelGroup ( ) const [inline]

Gets the joint model group.

Returns:: The joint model group

Definition at line 108 of file constraint_sampler.h.

virtual const std::string& constraint_samplers::ConstraintSampler::getName ( ) const [pure virtual]

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

Returns:: string of name

Implemented in constraint_samplers::IKConstraintSampler, constraint_samplers::UnionConstraintSampler, and constraint_samplers::JointConstraintSampler.

const planning_scene::PlanningSceneConstPtr& constraint_samplers::ConstraintSampler::getPlanningScene ( ) const [inline]

Check if the sampler is set to verbose mode.

Definition at line 261 of file constraint_sampler.h.

bool constraint_samplers::ConstraintSampler::isValid ( ) const [inline]

Returns whether or not the constraint sampler is valid or not. To be valid, the joint model group must be available in the kinematic model and configure() must have successfully been called.

Returns:: True if the sampler is valid, and otherwise false.

Definition at line 255 of file constraint_sampler.h.

bool constraint_samplers::ConstraintSampler::project ( robot_state::RobotState & state ) [inline]

Project a sample given the constraints, updating the joint state group. The value DEFAULT_MAX_SAMPLING_ATTEMPTS will be passed in as the maximum number of attempts to make to project the sample.

Parameters:

state The state which specifies the state to be projected, according to the constraints. Only values for the group are written. The same state is used as reference if needed.

Returns:: True if a sample was successfully projected, false otherwise
