iDynTree::MovableJointImpl class

Base template for implementation of non-fixed joints.

A specific joint can be derived from an instantiation of this template.

For more information on the assumption of the joint model, check the IJoint interface.

Derived classes

class PrismaticJoint: Class representing a prismatic joint, i.e.
class RevoluteJoint: Class representing a revolute joint, i.e.

Function documentation

template<unsigned int nrOfPosCoords, unsigned int nrOfDOFs>
unsigned int iDynTree::MovableJointImpl<nrOfPosCoords, nrOfDOFs>::getNrOfPosCoords() const virtual

Get the number of coordinates used to represent the position of the joint.

Returns	the number of position coordinates.

For joints whose configuration is in R^n, the number of position coordinates should match the number of degrees of freedom of the joint.

template<unsigned int nrOfPosCoords, unsigned int nrOfDOFs>
unsigned int iDynTree::MovableJointImpl<nrOfPosCoords, nrOfDOFs>::getNrOfDOFs() const virtual

Get the number of degrees of freedom of the joint.

Returns	the number of degrees of freedom of the joint.

This should be a number between 0 (fixed joint) and 6 (free joint).

template<unsigned int nrOfPosCoords, unsigned int nrOfDOFs>
void iDynTree::MovableJointImpl<nrOfPosCoords, nrOfDOFs>::setIndex(JointIndex& _index) virtual

Get the motion subspace matrix, i.e.

Returns	the motion subspace matrix

the matrix that maps the joint velocity to the relative twist between the two links. In particular the motion subspace matrix is the S matrix such that v_linkA = S_{linkA,linkB}*dq + linkA_X_linkB*v_linkB where dq is the joint velocity.
