RateLimiter(T min_value = std::numeric_limits<double>::quiet_NaN(), T max_value = std::numeric_limits<double>::quiet_NaN(), T min_first_derivative_neg = std::numeric_limits<double>::quiet_NaN(), T max_first_derivative_pos = std::numeric_limits<double>::quiet_NaN(), T min_first_derivative_pos = std::numeric_limits<double>::quiet_NaN(), T max_first_derivative_neg = std::numeric_limits<double>::quiet_NaN(), T min_second_derivative = std::numeric_limits<double>::quiet_NaN(), T max_second_derivative = std::numeric_limits<double>::quiet_NaN())

Constructor.

Note

If max_* values are NAN, the respective limit is deactivated If min_* values are NAN (unspecified), defaults to -max If min_first_derivative_pos/max_first_derivative_neg values are NAN, symmetric limits are used

Parameters:
  • min_value[in] Minimum value, e.g. [m/s], usually <= 0

  • max_value[in] Maximum value, e.g. [m/s], usually >= 0

  • min_first_derivative_neg[in] Minimum first_derivative, negative value, e.g. [m/s^2], usually <= 0

  • max_first_derivative_pos[in] Maximum first_derivative, positive value, e.g. [m/s^2], usually >= 0

  • min_first_derivative_pos[in] Asymmetric Minimum first_derivative, positive value, e.g. [m/s^2], usually <= 0

  • max_first_derivative_neg[in] Asymmetric Maximum first_derivative, negative value, e.g. [m/s^2], usually >= 0

  • min_second_derivative[in] Minimum second_derivative, e.g. [m/s^3], usually <= 0

  • max_second_derivative[in] Maximum second_derivative, e.g. [m/s^3], usually >= 0
