◆ computeGPM()

virtual yarp::sig::Vector iCub::iKin::SteepCtrl::computeGPM ( )

inlinevirtual

Returns the further contribution to the qdot=pinvJ*xdot equation according to the Gradient Projection Method, i.e.

qdot=pinvJ*xdot+(I-pinvJ*J)*w

Returns: shall return the quantity (I-pinvJ*J)*w.

Note: This method shall be inherited and handled accordingly (here a vector of 0s is returned). To do that, J and pinvJ are already computed when this method is called.

◆ deadLockRecoveryFcn()

virtual void iCub::iKin::SteepCtrl::deadLockRecoveryFcn ( )

◆ iterate()

Vector SteepCtrl::iterate	(	yarp::sig::Vector &	xd,
		const unsigned int	verbose = `0`
	)

virtual

Executes one iteration of the control algorithm.

Parameters

xd is the End-Effector target Pose to be tracked.

verbose is a integer whose 32 bits are intended as follows. The lowest word (16 bits) progressively enables different levels of warning messages or status dump: the larger this value the more detailed is the output (0x####0000=>off by default). The highest word indicates how many successive calls to the dump shall be skipped in order to reduce the amount of information on the screen (ex: 0x0000####=>print all iterations, 0x0001####=>print one iteration and skip the next one, 0x0002####=> print one iteration and skip the next two).

Returns: current estimation of joints configuration. Shall be implemented.
