Member Function Documentation

◆ addLimb() [1/2]

virtual void iCub::iDyn::iDynSensorNode::addLimb	(	iDyn::iDynLimb *	limb,
		const yarp::sig::Matrix &	H,
		const FlowType	kinFlow = `RBT_NODE_OUT`,
		const FlowType	wreFlow = `RBT_NODE_IN`
	)

virtual

Add one limb to the node, defining its RigidBodyTransformation.

A new RigidBodyTransformation is added to the RBT list. Since there's not an iDynSensor for this limb, it is set to NULL in the sensorList.

Parameters

limb	pointer to generic limb
H	a (4x4) roto-translational matrix defining the transformation between node and limb base/end
kinFlow	the type of information flow of kinematics variables
wreFlow	the type of information flow of wrench variables

◆ addLimb() [2/2]

void iCub::iDyn::iDynSensorNode::addLimb	(	iDyn::iDynLimb *	limb,
		const yarp::sig::Matrix &	H,
		iDyn::iDynSensor *	sensor,
		const FlowType	kinFlow = `RBT_NODE_OUT`,
		const FlowType	wreFlow = `RBT_NODE_IN`
	)

Add one limb to the node, defining its RigidBodyTransformation and the iDynSensor used to solve it after FT sensor measurements.

A new RigidBodyTransformation is added to the RBT list. The iDynSensor is added to the sensorList.

Parameters

limb	pointer to generic limb
H	a (4x4) roto-translational matrix defining the transformation between node and limb base/end
sensor	pointer to iDynSensor of the limb
kinFlow	the type of information flow of kinematics variables
wreFlow	the type of information flow of wrench variables

◆ estimateSensorsWrench()

Matrix iDynSensorNode::estimateSensorsWrench	(	const yarp::sig::Matrix &	FM,
		bool	afterAttach = `false`
	)

Exploit iDynInvSensor methods to retrieve FT sensor measurements after solving wrenches in the limbs.

The parameter FM is a (6xN), where each column is an external wrench to be used for initializing the wrench phase; N is the number of limbs Nlimbs attached to the node. The boolean flag is used in case the external wrench on the first limb has already been set; this is useful whenever two different nodes are connected and share information: the first node sends kinematic and wrench information to the 'first' limb of the second node (eg the torso). In that case the FM matrix should only contain external wrench for the other limbs, so it should be a (6x(Nlimbs-1)).

Parameters

FM	a (6xN) matrix with the external wrenches,where N is the number of limbs if afterAttach=false, number of limbs -1 if afterAttach=true
afterAttach	a flag for specifying if the external wrench of the first limb has been already set or not

Definition at line 1562 of file iDynBody.cpp.

◆ howManySensors()

unsigned int iDynSensorNode::howManySensors ( ) const

protected

Returns: the number of limbs with sensor

Definition at line 1707 of file iDynBody.cpp.

◆ setWrenchMeasure() [1/2]

virtual bool iCub::iDyn::iDynSensorNode::setWrenchMeasure	(	const yarp::sig::Matrix &	F,
		const yarp::sig::Matrix &	M,
		bool	afterAttach = `false`
	)

virtual

Set the Wrench measures on the limbs attached to the node.

The parameters F and M are (3xN) matrices, where each column is an external wrench to be used for initializing the wrench phase; N is the number of limbs Nlimbs attached to the node. The boolean flag is used in case the external wrench on the first limb has already been set; this is useful whenever two different nodes are connected and share information: the first node sends kinematic and wrench information to the 'first' limb of the second node (eg the torso). In that case the F and M matrices should only contain external wrench for the other limbs, so it should be a (6x(Nlimbs-1)).

Parameters

F	a (3xN) matrix with forces, where N is the number of limbs if afterAttach=false, number of limbs -1 if afterAttach=true
M	a (3xN) matrix with moments , where N is the number of limbs if afterAttach=false, number of limbs -1 if afterAttach=true
afterAttach	a flag for specifying if the external wrench of the first limb has been already set or not

Returns: true if succeeds, false otherwise

◆ setWrenchMeasure() [2/2]

virtual bool iCub::iDyn::iDynSensorNode::setWrenchMeasure	(	const yarp::sig::Matrix &	FM,
		bool	afterAttach = `false`
	)

virtual

Set the Wrench measures on the limbs attached to the node.

The parameter FM is a (6xN), where each column is an external wrench to be used for initializing the wrench phase; N is the number of limbs Nlimbs attached to the node. The boolean flag is used in case the external wrench on the first limb has already been set; this is useful whenever two different nodes are connected and share information: the first node sends kinematic and wrench information to the 'first' limb of the second node (eg the torso). In that case the FM matrix should only contain external wrench for the other limbs, so it should be a (6x(Nlimbs-1)).

Parameters

FM	a (6xN) matrix with the external wrenches, where N is the number of limbs if afterAttach=false, number of limbs -1 if afterAttach=true
afterAttach	a flag for specifying if the external wrench of the first limb has been already set or not

Returns: true if succeeds, false otherwise

◆ solveWrench()

bool iDynSensorNode::solveWrench ( )

virtual

Main function to manage the exchange of wrench information among the limbs attached to the node.

Multiple limbs with wrench flow of input type can exist, but at least one limb with output type must exist, to compute the wrench balance on the node. The measured/input wrenches to the limbs are here assumed to be set elsewhere: eg another class or the main is setting the measured wrenches. Note: RBT calls computeWrenchNewtonEuler in the limb, meaning that performs a "basic" wrench computation without any sensor, just setting wrenches at the end-effector or at the base, and calling recursive wrench computation.

Returns: true if succeeds, false otherwise
