Member Function Documentation

void create

(

const osg::Matrix &

pose

)

[protected, virtual]

creates vehicle at desired pose

creates vehicle at desired position

Parameters:

pose

4x4 pose matrix

void destroy

(

)

[protected, virtual]

destroys vehicle and space

void doInternalStuff

(

GlobalData &

globalData

)

[virtual]

this function is called in each timestep.

It should perform robot-internal checks, like space-internal collision detection, sensor resets/update etc.

Parameters:

globalData

structure that contains global data from the simulation environment

Reimplemented from OdeRobot.

static SphererobotConf getDefaultConf

(

)

[inline, static]

virtual Primitive* getMainPrimitive

(

)

const [inline, virtual]

the main object of the robot, which is used for position and speed tracking

Reimplemented from OdeRobot.

int getMotorNumber

(

)

[virtual]

Returns the number of motors used by the snake.

Returns:

number of motors

number of motors

Author:

Marcel Kretschmann

Version:

final

Implements AbstractRobot.

int getSegmentsPosition

(

std::vector< Position > &

poslist

)

[virtual]

returns a vector with the positions of all segments of the robot

Parameters:

vector

of positions (of all robot segments)

Returns:

length of the list

int getSensorNumber

(

)

[virtual]

Returns the number of sensors used by the robot.

Returns:

number of sensors

number of sensors

Author:

Marcel Kretschmann

Version:

final

Implements AbstractRobot.

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

Writes the sensor values to an array in the memory.

Parameters:

	sensors	pointer to the array
	sensornumber	length of the sensor array

Returns:

number of actually written sensors

Implements AbstractRobot.

void place

(

const osg::Matrix &

pose

)

[virtual]

sets the pose of the vehicle

Parameters:

pose

desired 4x4 pose matrix

Implements OdeRobot.

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

Reads the actual motor commands from an array, an sets all motors of the snake to this values.

It is an linear allocation.

Parameters:

	motors	pointer to the array, motor values are scaled to [-1,1]
	motornumber	length of the motor array

Implements AbstractRobot.

void update

(

)

[virtual]

update the subcomponents

Implements OdeRobot.
