Detailed Description

Class that defines the Pioneer mobile robot simulator equipped with a static camera.

It intends to simulate the mobile robot described in vpPioneer class. This robot has 2 dof: $(v_x, w_z)$, the translational and rotational velocities that are applied at point E.

The robot position evolves with respect to a world frame; wMc. When a new joint velocity is applied to the robot using setVelocity(), the position of the camera wrt the world frame is updated.

The following code shows how to control this robot in position and velocity.

#include <visp3/robot/vpSimulatorPioneer.h>
int main()
{
robot.getPosition(wMc); // Position of the camera in the world frame
std::cout << "Default position of the camera in the world frame wMc:\n" << wMc << std::endl;
robot.setSamplingTime(0.100); // Modify the default sampling time to 0.1 second
robot.setMaxTranslationVelocity(1.); // vx max set to 1 m/s
robot.setMaxRotationVelocity(vpMath::rad(90)); // wz max set to 90 deg/s
vpColVector v(2); // we control vx and wz dof
v = 0;
v[0] = 1.; // set vx to 1 m/s
// The robot has moved from 0.1 meters along the z axis
robot.getPosition(wMc); // Position of the camera in the world frame
std::cout << "New position of the camera wMc:\n" << wMc << std::endl;
}

The usage of this class is also highlighted in Tutorial: Visual servo simulation on a pioneer-like unicycle robot.

Member Enumeration Documentation

Robot control frames.

Enumerator
REFERENCE_FRAME 

Corresponds to a fixed reference frame attached to the robot structure.

ARTICULAR_FRAME 

Corresponds to the joint state. This value is deprecated. You should rather use vpRobot::JOINT_STATE.

JOINT_STATE 

Corresponds to the joint state.

END_EFFECTOR_FRAME 

Corresponds to robot end-effector frame.

CAMERA_FRAME 

Corresponds to a frame attached to the camera mounted on the robot end-effector.

Saturate velocities.

Parameters
v_in: Vector of input velocities to saturate. Translation velocities should be expressed in m/s while rotation velocities in rad/s.
