Description

See Cartesian Solver for documentation.

Libraries

• YARP libraries.
• iKin library (it requires IPOPT).

Parameters

–part type [mandatory]

• select the part to run. type is the group name within the configuration file (e.g. left_arm, right_arm, ...).

–context directory [optional]

• allow specifying a different path where to search the configuration file (beware of the context search policy).

–from file [optional]

• allow specifying a different configuration file from the default one which is cartesianSolver.ini.

Ports Accessed

All ports which allow the access to motor interface shall be previously open.

Ports Created

• /<solverName>/in : for requests in streaming mode.
• /<solverName>/rpc : for requests and replies.
• /<solverName>/out : for output streaming.

Note

Configuration Files

Here's how the configuration file will look like for the specific icub part left_arm:

[left_arm]
