Member Function Documentation

void create

(

const osg::Matrix &

pose

)

[protected, virtual]

creates vehicle at desired position and orientation

Reimplemented in Barrel2Masses, and Barrel2Masses2nd.

void destroy

(

)

[protected, virtual]

destroys vehicle and space

void doInternalStuff

(

GlobalData &

globalData

)

[virtual]

this function is called in each timestep after control.

It should perform robot-internal checks and actions, like acting and sensing of internal motors/sensors etc.

Parameters:

globalData

structure that contains global data from the simulation environment

Implements OdeRobot.

static Sphererobot3MassesConf getDefaultConf

(

)

[inline, static]

default configuration

Reimplemented in Barrel2Masses, and Barrel2Masses2nd.

virtual Primitive* getMainPrimitive

(

)

const [inline, virtual]

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

Implements 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]

Writes the sensor values to an array in the memory.

Parameters:

	sensor*	pointer to the array
	sensornumber	length of the sensor array

Returns:

number of actually written sensors

Implements AbstractRobot.

Reimplemented in Barrel2Masses, and Barrel2Masses2nd.

void init

(

)

[protected]

initialises some internal variables

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]

sets actual motorcommands

Parameters:

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

Implements AbstractRobot.

void update

(

)

[virtual]

update the OSG notes here

Implements OdeRobot.
