RobotAfma6¶

class RobotAfma6(self, verbose: bool = true)¶

Bases: Afma6, Robot

Control of Irisa’s gantry robot named Afma6.

Implementation of the vpRobot class in order to control Irisa’s Afma6 robot. This robot is a gantry robot with six degrees of freedom manufactured in 1992 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 ring light is attached around the camera. The control of this ring light is possible throw the vpRingLight class. A CCMOP gripper is also mounted on the end-effector. The pneumatic control of this gripper is possible throw the openGripper() or closeGripper() member functions.

This class allows to control the Afma6 gantry robot in position and velocity:

in the joint space ( vpRobot::ARTICULAR_FRAME ),
in the fixed reference frame ( vpRobot::REFERENCE_FRAME ),
in the camera frame ( vpRobot::CAMERA_FRAME ),
or in a mixed frame ( vpRobot::MIXT_FRAME ) where translations are expressed in the reference frame and rotations in the camera frame.

End-effector frame ( vpRobot::END_EFFECTOR_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 direct and inverse kinematics models are implemented in the vpAfma6 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:

#include <visp3/robot/vpRobotAfma6.h>

#ifdef ENABLE_VISP_NAMESPACE
using namespace VISP_NAMESPACE_NAME;
#endif

int main()
{
#ifdef VISP_HAVE_AFMA6
  vpRobotAfma6 robot;
#endif
}

This initialize the robot kinematics with the eMc extrinsic camera parameters obtained with a projection model without distortion. To set the robot kinematics with the eMc matrix obtained with a camera perspective model including distortion you need to initialize the robot with:

// Set the extrinsic camera parameters obtained with a perspective
// projection model including a distortion parameter
robot.init(vpAfma6::TOOL_CCMOP, vpCameraParameters::perspectiveProjWithDistortion);

You can get the intrinsic camera parameters of the image I acquired with the camera, with:

vpCameraParameters cam;
robot.getCameraParameters(cam, I);
// In cam, you get the intrinsic parameters of the projection model
// with distortion.

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(6);
// Set a joint position
q[0] = 0.1; // x axis, in meter
q[1] = 0.2; // y axis, in meter
q[2] = 0.3; // z axis, in meter
q[3] = M_PI/8; // rotation around A axis, in rad
q[4] = M_PI/4; // rotation around B axis, in rad
q[5] = M_PI;   // rotation around C axis, in rad

// 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 vpRobotAfma6::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] = 0.1;    // x axis, in m/s
qvel[1] = 0.2;    // y axis, in m/s
qvel[2] = 0;      // z axis, in m/s
qvel[3] = M_PI/8; // rotation around A axis, in rad/s
qvel[4] = 0;      // rotation around B axis, in rad/s
qvel[5] = 0;      // rotation around C 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.

getCameraParameters(*args, **kwargs)¶

getCameraParameters(self: visp._visp.robot.Afma6, cam: visp._visp.core.CameraParameters, image_width: int, image_height: int) -> None

Get the current intrinsic camera parameters obtained by calibration.

Warning

This method needs XML library to parse the file defined in vpAfma6::CONST_CAMERA_AFMA6_FILENAME and containing the camera parameters.

Warning

Third method needs also an access to the files containing the camera parameters in XML format. This access is available if VISP_HAVE_AFMA6_DATA macro is defined in include/visp3/core/vpConfig.h file.

If VISP_HAVE_AFMA6_DATA is defined, this method gets the camera parameters from const_camera_Afma6.xml config file.
If this macro is not defined, this method sets the camera parameters to default one.

The code below shows how to get the camera parameters of the camera attached to the robot.

Warning

This functionnality is not implemented for the moment in the reference and mixt frames. It is only available in the joint space ( vpRobot::ARTICULAR_FRAME ) and in the camera frame ( vpRobot::CAMERA_FRAME ).

In camera or reference frame, rotations are expressed with the Euler Rxyz representation.

getForwardKinematics(self, q: visp._visp.core.ColVector) → visp._visp.core.HomogeneousMatrix¶

Compute the forward kinematics (direct geometric model) as an homogeneous matrix.

By forward kinematics we mean here the position and the orientation of the camera relative to the base frame given the articular positions of all the six joints.

This method is the same than get_fMc(const vpColVector & q).

Note

See get_fMc(const vpColVector & q)

Note

See getInverseKinematics()

Parameters:

q: visp._visp.core.ColVector¶: Articular position of the six joints: q[0], q[1], q[2] correspond to the first 3 translations expressed in meter, while q[3], q[4] and q[5] correspond to the 3 successives rotations expressed in radians.

Returns:

The homogeneous matrix corresponding to the direct geometric model which expresses the transformation between the base frame and the camera frame (fMc).

getInverseKinematics(self, fMc: visp._visp.core.HomogeneousMatrix, q: visp._visp.core.ColVector, nearest: bool = true, verbose: bool = false) → int¶

By inverse kinematics we mean here the six articular values of the joint positions given the position and the orientation of the camera frame relative to the base frame.

The code below shows how to compute the inverse geometric model:

#include <visp3/core/vpColVector.h>
#include <visp3/core/vpHomogeneousMatrix.h>
#include <visp3/robot/vpRobotAfma6.h>

#ifdef ENABLE_VISP_NAMESPACE

  vpRobotAfma6 robot;

  // Get the current articular position of the robot
  robot.getPosition(vpRobot::ARTICULAR_FRAME, q1);

  // Compute the pose of the camera in the reference frame using the
  // direct geometric model
  fMc = robot.getForwardKinematics(q1);
  // this is similar to  fMc = robot.get_fMc(q1);
  // or robot.get_fMc(q1, fMc);

  // Compute the inverse geometric model
  int nbsol; // number of solutions (0, 1 or 2) of the inverse geometric model
  // get the nearest solution to the current articular position
  nbsol = robot.getInverseKinematics(fMc, q1, true);

  if (nbsol == 0)
    std::cout << "No solution of the inverse geometric model " << std::endl;
  else if (nbsol >= 1)

  if (nbsol == 2) {
    // Compute the other solution of the inverse geometric model
    q2 = q1;
    robot.getInverseKinematics(fMc, q2, false);
    std::cout << "Second solution: " << q2 << std::endl;
  }
#endif
}
