RobotViper850¶

class RobotViper850(self, verbose: bool = true)¶

Bases: Viper850, Robot

The only available constructor.

This constructor calls init() to initialise the connection with the MotionBox or low level controller, send the default \(^e{\bf M}_c\) homogeneous matrix and power on the robot.

It also set the robot state to vpRobot::STATE_STOP .

To set the extrinsic camera parameters related to the \(^e{\bf M}_c\) matrix obtained with a camera perspective projection model including the distortion, use the code below:

#include <visp3/core/vpCameraParameters.h>
#include <visp3/core/vpImage.h>
#include <visp3/robot/vpRobotViper850.h>
#include <visp3/sensor/vp1394TwoGrabber.h>

int main()
{
#ifdef VISP_HAVE_VIPER850
  vpRobotViper850 robot;

  // Set the extrinsic camera parameters obtained with a perpective
  // projection model including a distortion parameter
  robot.init(vpViper850::TOOL_MARLIN_F033C_CAMERA, vpCameraParameters::perspectiveProjWithDistortion);

Now, you can get the intrinsic camera parameters associated to an image acquired by the camera attached to the robot, with:

  vpImage<unsigned char> I(480, 640);

  // Get an image from the camera attached to the robot
#ifdef VISP_HAVE_DC1394
  vp1394TwoGrabber g;
  g.acquire(I);
#endif
  vpCameraParameters cam;
  robot.getCameraParameters(cam, I);
  // In cam, you get the intrinsic parameters of the projection model
  // with distortion.
#endif
}

__init__(self, verbose: bool = true)¶

The only available constructor.

This constructor calls init() to initialise the connection with the MotionBox or low level controller, send the default \(^e{\bf M}_c\) homogeneous matrix and power on the robot.

It also set the robot state to vpRobot::STATE_STOP .

To set the extrinsic camera parameters related to the \(^e{\bf M}_c\) matrix obtained with a camera perspective projection model including the distortion, use the code below:

#include <visp3/core/vpCameraParameters.h>
#include <visp3/core/vpImage.h>
#include <visp3/robot/vpRobotViper850.h>
#include <visp3/sensor/vp1394TwoGrabber.h>

int main()
{
#ifdef VISP_HAVE_VIPER850
  vpRobotViper850 robot;

  // Set the extrinsic camera parameters obtained with a perpective
  // projection model including a distortion parameter
  robot.init(vpViper850::TOOL_MARLIN_F033C_CAMERA, vpCameraParameters::perspectiveProjWithDistortion);

Now, you can get the intrinsic camera parameters associated to an image acquired by the camera attached to the robot, with:

  vpImage<unsigned char> I(480, 640);

  // Get an image from the camera attached to the robot
#ifdef VISP_HAVE_DC1394
  vp1394TwoGrabber g;
  g.acquire(I);
#endif
  vpCameraParameters cam;
  robot.getCameraParameters(cam, I);
  // In cam, you get the intrinsic parameters of the projection model
  // with distortion.
#endif
}

Note

See vpCameraParameters , init ( vpViper850::vpToolType , vpCameraParameters::vpCameraParametersProjType )

biasForceTorqueSensor(self) → None¶: Bias the force/torque sensor.

Note

See unbiasForceTorqueSensor() , getForceTorque()

closeGripper(self) → None¶: Close the pneumatic two fingers gripper.

Note

See openGripper()

disableJoint6Limits(self) → None¶: Warning

Each call to this function should be done carefully.

Disable the joint limits on axis number 6. When joint 6 is outside the limits, a call to this function allows to bring the robot to a position inside the limits. Don’t forget then to call enableJoint6Limits() to reduce the working space for joint 6.

Note

See enableJoint6Limits()

enableJoint6Limits(self) → None¶: Enable the joint limits on axis number 6. This is the default.

Note

See disbleJoint6Limits()

getCameraParameters(*args, **kwargs)¶

Overloaded function.

getCameraParameters(self: visp._visp.robot.Viper850, 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 vpViper850::CONST_CAMERA_FILENAME and containing the camera parameters.

Warning

Thid method needs also an access to the files containing the camera parameters in XML format. This access is available if VISP_HAVE_VIPER850_DATA macro is defined in include/visp3/core/vpConfig.h file.

If VISP_HAVE_VIPER850_DATA macro is defined, this method gets the camera parameters from const_camera_Viper850.xml config file.

Returns:: The control mode indicating if the robot is in automatic, manual (usage of the dead man switch) or emergnecy stop mode.

getCoupl56(self) → float¶

Return the coupling factor between join 5 and joint 6.

This factor should be only useful when motor positions are considered. Since the positions returned by the robot are joint positions which takes into account the coupling factor, it has not to be considered in the modelization of the robot.

getDisplacement(self, frame: visp._visp.robot.Robot.ControlFrameType, displacement: visp._visp.core.ColVector) → None¶

Get the robot displacement since the last call of this method.

Warning

This functionnality is not implemented for the moment in the cartesian space. It is only available in the joint space ( vpRobot::ARTICULAR_FRAME ).

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

Parameters:

frame: visp._visp.robot.Robot.ControlFrameType¶: The frame in which the measured displacement is expressed.
displacement: visp._visp.core.ColVector¶: <unparsed orderedlist <doxmlparser.compound.docListType object at 0x7ff6914aae00>>

    vpTime::wait(5);
  }
#endif
}

Note

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 six joint positions.

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¶: A six dimension vector corresponding to the robot joint positions expressed in radians.

Returns:

The homogeneous matrix \(^f{\bf M}_c\) corresponding to the direct geometric model which expresses the transformation between the base frame and the camera frame.

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

Compute the inverse kinematics (inverse geometric model).

By inverse kinematics we mean here the six joint values 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:

vpColVector q1(6), q2(6);
vpHomogeneousMatrix fMc;

vpViper robot;

// Get the current joint 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 to 8) of the inverse geometric model
// get the nearest solution to the current joint position
nbsol = robot.getInverseKinematics(fMc, q1);

if (nbsol == 0)
  std::cout << "No solution of the inverse geometric model " << std::endl;
else if (nbsol >= 1)
  std::cout << "Nearest solution: " << q1 << std::endl;

Warning

This method sets the camera extrinsic parameters (matrix eMc) to the one obtained by calibration with a camera projection model without distortion by calling init(vpViper850::defaultCameraRobot). If you want to set the extrinsic camera parameters to those obtained with a camera perspective model including the distortion you have to call the init(vpViper850::vpViper850CameraRobotType, vpCameraParameters::vpCameraParametersProjType ) method. If you want to set custom extrinsic camera parameters you have to call the init(vpViper850::vpToolType, const vpHomogeneousMatrix&) method.

Note

See vpCameraParameters , init ( vpViper850::vpToolType , vpCameraParameters::vpCameraParametersProjType ), init(vpViper850::vpToolType, const vpHomogeneousMatrix&) , init(vpViper850::vpToolType, const std::string&)

The eMc parameters depend on the camera and the projection model in use.

To set the extrinsic camera parameters related to the \(^e{\bf M}_c\) matrix obtained with a camera perspective projection model including the distortion, use the code below:

#include <visp3/core/vpCameraParameters.h>
#include <visp3/core/vpImage.h>
#include <visp3/robot/vpRobotViper850.h>
#include <visp3/sensor/vp1394TwoGrabber.h>

int main()

  // Set the extrinsic camera parameters obtained with a perpective
  // projection model including a distortion parameter
  robot.init(vpViper850::TOOL_MARLIN_F033C_CAMERA, vpCameraParameters::perspectiveProjWithDistortion);

Now, you can get the intrinsic camera parameters associated to an image acquired by the camera attached to the robot, with:

  vpImage<unsigned char> I(480, 640);

  // Get an image from the camera attached to the robot
#ifdef VISP_HAVE_DC1394
  vp1394TwoGrabber g;
  g.acquire(I);
#endif
  vpCameraParameters cam;
  robot.getCameraParameters(cam, I);
  // In cam, you get the intrinsic parameters of the projection model
  // with distortion.

  // and the tool frame from a file
  std::string filename("./EffectorToolTransformation.cnf");

  robot.init(vpViper850::TOOL_CUSTOM, filename);

static saturateVelocities(v_in: visp._visp.core.ColVector, v_max: visp._visp.core.ColVector, verbose: bool = false) → visp._visp.core.ColVector¶

Saturate velocities.

The code below shows how to use this static method in order to saturate a velocity skew vector.

#include <iostream>

#include <visp3/robot/vpRobot.h>

int main()
{
  // Set a velocity skew vector
  vpColVector v(6);
  v[0] = 0.1;               // vx in m/s
  v[1] = 0.2;               // vy
  v[2] = 0.3;               // vz
  v[3] = vpMath::rad(10);   // wx in rad/s
  v[4] = vpMath::rad(-10);  // wy
  v[5] = vpMath::rad(20);   // wz

  // Set the maximal allowed velocities
  vpColVector v_max(6);
  for (int i=0; i<3; i++)
    v_max[i] = 0.3;             // in translation (m/s)
  for (int i=3; i<6; i++)
    v_max[i] = vpMath::rad(10); // in rotation (rad/s)

  // Compute the saturated velocity skew vector
  vpColVector v_sat = vpRobot::saturateVelocities(v, v_max, true);

  std::cout << "v    : " << v.t() << std::endl;
  std::cout << "v max: " << v_max.t() << std::endl;
  std::cout << "v sat: " << v_sat.t() << std::endl;

  return 0;
}

Parameters:

v_in: visp._visp.core.ColVector¶: Vector of input velocities to saturate. Translation velocities should be expressed in m/s while rotation velocities in rad/s.
v_max: visp._visp.core.ColVector¶: Vector of maximal allowed velocities. Maximal translation velocities should be expressed in m/s while maximal rotation velocities in rad/s.
verbose: bool = false¶: Print a message indicating which axis causes the saturation.

Returns:

Saturated velocities.

static savePosFile(filename: str, q: visp._visp.core.ColVector) → bool¶

Save joint (articular) positions in a specific Viper850 position file.

This position file starts with a header on the first line. After convertion of the rotations in degrees, the joint position q is written on a line starting with the keyword “R: “. See readPosFile() documentation for an example of such a file.

Note

See readPosFile()

Parameters:

filename: str¶: Name of the position file to create.
q: visp._visp.core.ColVector¶: The six joint positions to save in the filename. Values are expressed in radians.

Returns:

true if the positions were successfully saved in the file. false, if an error occurs.

setMaxRotationVelocity(*args, **kwargs)¶

Overloaded function.

setMaxRotationVelocity(self: visp._visp.robot.RobotViper850, w_max: float) -> None

Set the maximal rotation velocity that can be sent to the robot during a velocity control.

Parameters:

w_max: Maximum rotation velocity expressed in rad/s.

setMaxRotationVelocity(self: visp._visp.robot.Robot, maxVr: float) -> None

Set the maximal rotation velocity that can be sent to the robot during a velocity control.

setMaxRotationVelocityJoint6(self, w6_max: float) → None¶

Set the maximal rotation velocity on joint 6 that is used only during velocity joint control.

This function affects only the velocities that are sent as joint velocities.

vpRobotViper850 robot;
robot.setMaxRotationVelocity( vpMath::rad(20) );
robot.setMaxRotationVelocityJoint6( vpMath::rad(50) );

robot.setRobotState(vpRobot::STATE_VELOCITY_CONTROL);
robot.setVelocity(ARTICULAR_FRAME, v);

Parameters:

w6_max: float¶: Maximum rotation velocity expressed in rad/s on joint 6.

setMaxTranslationVelocity(self, maxVt: float) → None¶: Set the maximal translation velocity that can be sent to the robot during a velocity control.

setPosition(*args, **kwargs)¶

Overloaded function.

setPosition(self: visp._visp.robot.RobotViper850, frame: visp._visp.robot.Robot.ControlFrameType, position: visp._visp.core.ColVector) -> None
setPosition(self: visp._visp.robot.RobotViper850, frame: visp._visp.robot.Robot.ControlFrameType, pos1: float, pos2: float, pos3: float, pos4: float, pos5: float, pos6: float) -> None
setPosition(self: visp._visp.robot.RobotViper850, filename: str) -> None

Move to an absolute joint position with a given percent of max velocity. The robot state is set to position control. The percent of max velocity is to set with setPositioningVelocity() . The position to reach is defined in the position file.

This method has the same behavior than the sample code given below;

#include <visp3/core/vpColVector.h>
#include <visp3/robot/vpRobotViper850.h>

int main()
{
#ifdef VISP_HAVE_VIPER850
  vpColVector q;
  vpRobotViper850 robot;

  robot.readPosFile("MyPositionFilename.pos", q);
  robot.setRobotState(vpRobot::STATE_POSITION_CONTROL);
  robot.setPosition(vpRobot::ARTICULAR_FRAME, q);
#endif
}

Note

See setPositioningVelocity()

Parameters:

filename: Name of the position file to read. The readPosFile() documentation shows a typical content of such a position file.

setPositioningVelocity(self, velocity: float) → None¶

Set the maximal velocity percentage to use for a position control.

The default positioning velocity is defined by vpRobotViper850::m_defaultPositioningVelocity . This method allows to change this default positioning velocity

#include <visp3/core/vpColVector.h>
#include <visp3/robot/vpRobotViper850.h>

int main()
{
#ifdef VISP_HAVE_VIPER850
  vpColVector position(6);
  position = 0; // position in rad

  vpRobotViper850 robot;

  robot.setRobotState(vpRobot::STATE_POSITION_CONTROL);

  // Set the max velocity to 20%
  robot.setPositioningVelocity(20);

  // Moves the robot to the joint position [0,0,0,0,0,0]
  robot.setPosition(vpRobot::ARTICULAR_FRAME, position);
#endif
}
