Package smach :: Module state_machine :: Class StateMachine

Class StateMachine

source code

StateMachine

This is a finite state machine smach container. Note that though this is a state machine, it also implements the smach.State interface, so these can be composed hierarchically, if such a pattern is desired.

States are added to the state machine as 3-tuple specifications:

The label is a string, the state instance is any class that implements the smach.State interface, and transitions is a dictionary mapping strings onto strings which represent the transitions out of this new state. Transitions can take one of three forms:

Method Details

__init__(self, outcomes, input_keys=[], output_keys=[])
(Constructor)

source code 

Constructor for smach StateMachine Container.

Parameters:
  • outcomes (list of strings) - The potential outcomes of this state machine.
Overrides: object.__init__

add(label, state, transitions=None, remapping=None)
Static Method

source code 

Add a state to the opened state machine.

Parameters:
  • label (string) - The label of the state being added.
  • state - An instance of a class implementing the State interface.
  • transitions - A dictionary mapping state outcomes to other state labels or container outcomes.
  • remapping - A dictrionary mapping local userdata keys to userdata keys in the container.

add_auto(label, state, connector_outcomes, transitions=None, remapping=None)
Static Method

source code 

Add a state to the state machine such that it automatically transitions to the next added state. Each state added will receive an additional transition from it to the state which is added after it. The transition will follow the outcome specified at construction of this container.

Parameters:
  • label (string) - The label of the state being added.
  • state - An instance of a class implementing the State interface.
  • transitions - A dictionary mapping state outcomes to other state labels. If one of these transitions follows the connector outcome specified in the constructor, the provided transition will override the automatically generated connector transition.

execute(self, parent_ud=smach.UserData())

source code 

Run the state machine on entry to this state. This will set the "closed" flag and spin up the execute thread. Once this flag has been set, it will prevent more states from being added to the state machine.

Parameters:
  • ud - Userdata for the scope in which this state is executing
Overrides: state.State.execute

request_preempt(self)

source code 

Propagate preempt to currently active state.

This will attempt to preempt the currently active state.

Overrides: state.State.request_preempt

get_children(self)

source code 

Get the children of this container. This is empty for leaf states.

Returns: dict of string: State
The sub-states of this container.
Overrides: container.Container.get_children
(inherited documentation)

__getitem__(self, key)
(Indexing operator)

source code 

Access child state by key.

Returns: smach.State
Child state with label equal to key
Overrides: container.Container.__getitem__
(inherited documentation)

set_initial_state(self, initial_states, userdata=smach.UserData())

source code 

Set initial active state of a container.

Parameters:
  • initial_states - A description of the initial active state of this container.
  • userdata - Initial userdata for this container.
Overrides: container.Container.set_initial_state
(inherited documentation)

get_active_states(self)

source code 

Get a description of the current state. Note that this is specific to container implementation.

Returns: list of string
Overrides: container.Container.get_active_states
(inherited documentation)

get_initial_states(self)

source code 

Get the initial state description.

Returns: list of string
Overrides: container.Container.get_initial_states
(inherited documentation)

get_internal_edges(self)

source code 

Get the internal outcome edges of this container. Get a list of 3-tuples (OUTCOME, LABEL_FROM, LABEL_TO) which coresspond to transitions inside this container.

Returns: list of 3-tuple
Overrides: container.Container.get_internal_edges
(inherited documentation)

check_state_spec(self, label, state, transitions)

source code 

Validate full state specification (label, state, and transitions). This checks to make sure the required variables are in the state spec, as well as verifies that all outcomes referenced in the transitions are registered as valid outcomes in the state object. If a state specification fails validation, a smach.InvalidStateError is thrown.

check_consistency(self)

source code 

Check the entire state machine for consistency. This asserts that all transition targets are states that are in the state machine. If this fails, it raises an InvalidTransitionError with relevant information.

Overrides: container.Container.check_consistency

set_userdata(self, userdata)

source code 

Propagate an updated userdata structure into this state machine.

Overrides: container.Container.set_userdata
