Constructor & Destructor Documentation

RobotChain ( const OdeHandle odeHandle,
const OsgHandle osgHandle,
const RobotChainConf conf,
const std::string &  name 
)

constructor of uwo robot

Parameters:
odeHandle data structure for accessing ODE
osgHandle ata structure for accessing OSG
size scaling of robot
force maximal used force to realize motorcommand
radialLegs switches between cartensian and radial leg joints
virtual ~RobotChain (  )  [inline, virtual]

Member Function Documentation

void create ( const osg::Matrix pose  )  [protected, virtual]
void destroy (  )  [protected, virtual]

destroys vehicle and space

void doInternalStuff ( GlobalData globalData  )  [virtual]

this function is called in each simulation timestep (always after control).

It should perform robot-internal checks and actions like resetting certain sensors or implement velocity dependend friction and the like. The attached Motors should act here.

Parameters:
globalData structure that contains global data from the simulation environment

Reimplemented from OdeRobot.

static RobotChainConf getDefaultConf (  )  [inline, static]
int getIRSensorNum (  )  [virtual]
Primitive * getMainPrimitive (  )  const [protected, virtual]

return the primitive of the robot that is used for tracking and camera following

Reimplemented from OdeRobot.

int getMotorNumber (  )  [virtual]

returns number of motors

Implements AbstractRobot.

int getSensorNumber (  )  [virtual]

returns number of sensors

Implements AbstractRobot.

int getSensors ( sensor sensors,
int  sensornumber 
) [virtual]

returns actual sensorvalues

Parameters:
sensors sensors scaled to [-1,1]
sensornumber length of the sensor array
Returns:
number of actually written sensors

Implements AbstractRobot.

void notifyOnChange ( const paramkey key  )  [virtual]

Is called when a parameter was changes via setParam().

Note that it is not called of parameters of childs are changed, then there notifyOnChange() method is called. The key and of the changed parameter (use getParam() to retrieve its actual value). Overload this function when special actions have to be taken on parameter changes.

Reimplemented from Configurable.

void place ( const osg::Matrix pose  )  [virtual]

sets the pose of the vehicle

Parameters:
pose desired pose matrix

Implements OdeRobot.

void setMotors ( const motor motors,
int  motornumber 
) [virtual]

sets actual motorcommands

Parameters:
motors motors scaled to [-1,1]
motornumber length of the motor array

Implements AbstractRobot.

void update (  )  [virtual]

updates the OSG nodes of the vehicle

Implements OdeRobot.
