Detailed Description

Interface for the biclops, pan, tilt head control.

See http://www.traclabs.com/biclopspt.html for more details.

This class provide a position and a speed control interface for the biclops head. To manage the biclops joint limits in speed control, a control loop is running in a seperate thread (see vpRobotBiclopsSpeedControlLoop()).

The control of the head is done by vpRobotBiclopsController class.

Warning
Velocity control mode is not exported from the top-level Biclops API class provided by Traclabs. That means that there is no protection in this mode to prevent an axis from striking its hard limit. In position mode, Traclabs put soft limits in that keep any command from driving to a position too close to the hard limits. In velocity mode this protection does not exist in the current API.
With the understanding that hitting the hard limits at full speed/power can damage the unit, damage due to velocity mode commanding is under user responsibility.
Examples:
moveBiclops.cpp, servoBiclopsPoint2DArtVelocity.cpp, and servoPioneerPanSegment3D.cpp.

Member Enumeration Documentation

Two different Denavit Hartenberg representations of the robot are implemented. They differ in the orientation of the tilt axis.

The first representation, vpBiclops::DH1 is given by:

\[ \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline Joint & $a_i$ & $d_i$ & $\alpha_i$ & $\theta_i$ \\ \hline 1 & 0 & 0 & $-\pi/2$ & $q_1^*$ \\ 2 & 0 & 0 & $ \pi/2$ & $q_2^* + \pi/2$ \\ \hline \end{tabular} \]

The second one, vpBiclops::DH2 is given by:

\[ \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline Joint & $a_i$ & $d_i$ & $\alpha_i$ & $\theta_i$ \\ \hline 1 & 0 & 0 & $ \pi/2$ & $q_1^*$ \\ 2 & 0 & 0 & $ -\pi/2$ & $q_2^* - \pi/2$ \\ \hline \end{tabular} \]

where $q_1^*, q_2^*$ are respectively the pan and tilt joint positions.

In those representations, the pan is oriented from left to right, while the tilt is oriented

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

vpRobotBiclops::vpRobotBiclops ( void  )

Default constructor.

Does nothing more than setting the default configuration file to /usr/share/BiclopsDefault.cfg.

As shown in the following example,the turret need to be initialized using init() function.

#include <visp3/core/vpConfig.h>
#include <visp3/robot/vpRobotBiclops.h>
int main()
{
#ifdef VISP_HAVE_BICLOPS
vpRobotBiclops robot; // Use the default config file in /usr/share/BiclopsDefault.cfg"
// Specify the config file location
robot.setConfigFile("/usr/share/BiclopsDefault.cfg"); // Not mandatory since the file is the default one
// Initialize the head
robot.init();
// Move the robot to a specified pan and tilt
q[0] = vpMath::rad(20); // pan
q[1] = vpMath::rad(40); // tilt
#endif
return 0;
}

vpRobotBiclops::vpRobotBiclops ( const std::string &  filename)

Default constructor.

Initialize the biclops pan, tilt head by reading the configuration file provided by Traclabs and do the homing sequence.

The following example shows how to use the constructor.

#include <visp3/core/vpConfig.h>

int main()
{
#ifdef VISP_HAVE_BICLOPS

frame: Control frame. This biclops head can only be controlled in articular.
q1: The pan position to set in radians.
q2: The tilt position to set in radians.
Exceptions
vpRobotException::wrongStateError: If a not supported frame type is given.

void vpRobotBiclops::setPosition ( const char *  filename)

Read the content of the position file and moves to head to articular position.

Parameters
filename: Position filename
Exceptions
vpRobotException::readingParametersError: If the articular position cannot be read from file.

void vpRobotBiclops::setPositioningVelocity ( const double  velocity)

Set the velocity used for a position control.

Parameters
velocity: Velocity in % of the maximum velocity between [0,100]. The maximum velocity is given vpBiclops::speedLimit.

vpRobot::vpRobotStateType vpRobotBiclops::setRobotState ( const vpRobot::vpRobotStateType  newState)

void vpRobotBiclops::setVelocity ( const vpRobot::vpControlFrameType  frame,
const vpColVector q_dot 
)
virtual

Send a velocity on each axis.

Parameters
frame: Control frame. This biclops head can only be controlled in articular. Be aware, the camera frame (vpRobot::CAMERA_FRAME), the reference frame (vpRobot::REFERENCE_FRAME) and the mixt frame (vpRobot::MIXT_FRAME) are not implemented.
q_dot: The desired articular velocity of the axis in rad/s. $ \dot {r} = [\dot{q}_1, \dot{q}_2]^t $ with $ \dot{q}_1 $ the pan of the camera and $ \dot{q}_2$ the tilt of the camera.
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().
vpRobotException::wrongStateError: If a not supported frame type (vpRobot::CAMERA_FRAME, vpRobot::REFERENCE_FRAME or vpRobot::MIXT_FRAME) is given.
Warning
Velocities could be saturated if one of them exceed the maximal autorized speed (see vpRobot::maxRotationVelocity).
