Detailed Description

Control of Irisa's cylindrical robot named Afma4.

Implementation of the vpRobot class in order to control Irisa's Afma4 robot. This robot is a cylindrical robot with five degrees of freedom but only four are actuated (see vpAfma4 documentation). It was manufactured in 1995 by the french Afma-Robots company. In 2008, the low level controller change for a more recent Adept technology based on the MotionBlox controller. A firewire camera is mounted on the end-effector to allow eye-in-hand visual servoing. The control of this camera is achieved by the vp1394TwoGrabber class. A Servolens lens is attached to the camera. It allows to control the focal lens, the iris and the focus throw a serial link. The control of the lens is possible using the vpServolens class.

This class allows to control the Afma4 cylindrical robot in position and velocity:

Mixed frame (vpRobot::MIXT_FRAME) where translations are expressed in the reference frame and rotations in the camera frame is not implemented.

All the translations are expressed in meters for positions and m/s for the velocities. Rotations are expressed in radians for the positions, and rad/s for the rotation velocities.

The Denavit-Hartenberg representation as well as the direct and inverse kinematics models are given and implemented in the vpAfma4 class.

Warning
A Ctrl-C, a segmentation fault or other system errors are catched by this class to stop the robot.

To communicate with the robot, you may first create an instance of this class by calling the default constructor:

vpRobotAfma4 robot;

This initialize the robot kinematics with the eMc extrinsic camera parameters.

To control the robot in position, you may set the controller to position control and than send the position to reach in a specific frame like here in the joint space:

vpColVector q(4);
// Set a joint position
q[0] = M_PI/2; // X axis, in radian
q[1] = 0.2; // Y axis, in meter
q[2] = -M_PI/2; // A axis, in radian
q[3] = M_PI/8; // B axis, in radian
// Initialize the controller to position control
robot.setRobotState(vpRobot::STATE_POSITION_CONTROL);
// Moves the robot in the joint space
robot.setPosition(vpRobot::ARTICULAR_FRAME, q);

The robot moves to the specified position with the default positioning velocity vpRobotAfma4::defaultPositioningVelocity. The setPositioningVelocity() method allows to change the maximal velocity used to reach the desired position.

// Set the max velocity to 40%
robot.setPositioningVelocity(40);
// Moves the robot in the joint space
robot.setPosition(vpRobot::ARTICULAR_FRAME, q);

To control the robot in velocity, you may set the controller to velocity control and than send the velocities. To end the velocity control and stop the robot you have to set the controller to the stop state. Here is an example of a velocity control in the joint space:

vpColVector qvel(6);
// Set a joint velocity
qvel[0] = M_PI/8; // X axis, in rad/s
qvel[1] = 0.2; // Y axis, in m/s
qvel[2] = 0; // A axis, in rad/s
qvel[3] = M_PI/8; // B axis, in rad/s
// Initialize the controller to position control
robot.setRobotState(vpRobot::STATE_VELOCITY_CONTROL);
while (...) {
// Apply a velocity in the joint space
robot.setVelocity(vpRobot::ARTICULAR_FRAME, qvel);
// Compute new velocities qvel...
}
// Stop the robot
robot.setRobotState(vpRobot::STATE_STOP)

There is also possible to measure the robot current position with getPosition() method and the robot current velocities with the getVelocity() method.

For convenience, there is also the ability to read/write joint positions from a position file with readPosFile() and writePosFile() methods.

Examples:
moveAfma4.cpp, servoAfma4Point2DArtVelocity.cpp, servoAfma4Point2DCamVelocity.cpp, servoAfma4Point2DCamVelocityKalman.cpp, and testRobotAfma4.cpp.

bool vpRobotAfma4::readPosFile ( const char *  filename,
vpColVector &  q 
)
static

Read joint positions in a specific Afma4 position file.

This position file has to start with a header. The six joint positions are given after the "R:" keyword. The first 3 values correspond to the joint translations X,Y,Z expressed in meters. The 3 last values correspond to the joint rotations A,B,C expressed in degres to be more representative for the user. Theses values are then converted in radians in q. The character "#" starting a line indicates a comment.

A typical content of such a file is given below:

#AFMA4 - Position - Version 2.01
# file: "myposition.pos "
#
# R: X Y A B
# Joint position: X : rotation of the turret in degrees (joint 1)
# Y : vertical translation in meters (joint 2)
# A : pan rotation of the camera in degrees (joint 4)
# B : tilt rotation of the camera in degrees (joint 5)
#
R: 45 0.3 -20 30
Parameters
filename: Name of the position file to read.
q: Joint positions: X,Y,A,B. Translations Y is expressed in meters, while joint rotations X,A,B in radians.
Returns
true if the positions were successfully readen in the file. false, if an error occurs.

The code below shows how to read a position from a file and move the robot to this position.

vpRobotAfma4 robot;
vpColVector q; // Joint position
robot.readPosFile("myposition.pos", q); // Set the joint position from the file
robot.setRobotState(vpRobot::STATE_POSITION_CONTROL);
robot.setPositioningVelocity(5); // Positioning velocity set to 5%
robot.setPosition(vpRobot::ARTICULAR_FRAME, q); // Move to the joint position

void vpRobotAfma4::setVelocity ( const vpRobot::vpControlFrameType  frame,
const vpColVector &  vel 
)
virtual

Apply a velocity to the robot.

Parameters
frame: Control frame in which the velocity is expressed. Velocities could be expressed in the joint space or in the camera frame. The reference frame and mixt frame are not implemented.
vel: Velocity vector. Translation velocities are expressed in m/s while rotation velocities in rad/s. The size of this vector may be 4 (the number of dof) if frame is set to vpRobot::ARTICULAR_FRAME. The size of this vector is 2 when the control is in the camera frame (frame is than set to vpRobot::CAMERA_FRAME).
  • In articular, $ vel = [\dot{q}_1, \dot{q}_2, \dot{q}_3, \dot{q}_4]^t $ correspond to joint velocities.
  • In camera frame, $ vel = [^{c} t_x, ^{c} t_y, ^{c} t_z,^{c} \omega_x, ^{c} \omega_y]^t, ^{c} \omega_z]^t$ is expressed in the camera frame. Since only four dof are available, in camera frame we control control only the camera pan and tilt.
Exceptions
vpRobotException::wrongStateError: If a the robot is not configured to handle a velocity. The robot can handle a velocity only if the velocity control mode is set. For that, call setRobotState( vpRobot::STATE_VELOCITY_CONTROL) before setVelocity().
Warning
Velocities could be saturated if one of them exceed the maximal autorized speed (see vpRobot::maxTranslationVelocity and vpRobot::maxRotationVelocity). To change these values use setMaxTranslationVelocity() and setMaxRotationVelocity().
// Set joint velocities
vpColVector q_dot(4);
q_dot[0] = M_PI/8; // Joint 1 velocity, in rad/s
q_dot[1] = 0.2; // Joint 2 velocity, in meter/s
q_dot[2] = M_PI/4; // Joint 4 velocity, in rad/s
q_dot[3] = M_PI/8; // Joint 5 velocity, in rad/s
