declareParameters()

bool joint_limits::declareParameters ( const std::string &  joint_name, const rclcpp::Node::SharedPtr &  node, const std::string &  param_ns  )

Here is the caller graph for this function:

getJointLimits() [1/2]

bool joint_limits::getJointLimits ( const std::string &  joint_name, const rclcpp::Node::SharedPtr &  node, const std::string &  param_ns, JointLimits &  limits  )

inline

Populate a JointLimits instance from the ROS parameter server.

It is assumed that the following parameter structure is followed on the provided NodeHandle. Unspecified parameters are simply not added to the joint limits specification.

joint_limits:
  foo_joint:
    has_position_limits: true
    min_position: 0.0
    max_position: 1.0
    has_velocity_limits: true
    max_velocity: 2.0
    has_acceleration_limits: true
    max_acceleration: 5.0
    has_jerk_limits: true
    max_jerk: 100.0
    has_effort_limits: true
    max_effort: 20.0
  bar_joint:
    has_position_limits: false # Continuous joint
    has_velocity_limits: true
    max_velocity: 4.0

This specification is similar to the one used by MoveIt!, but additionally supports jerk and effort limits.

Parameters

[in]	joint_name	Name of joint whose limits are to be fetched.
[in]	node	NodeHandle where the joint limits are specified.
[out]	limits	Where joint limit data gets written into. Limits specified in the parameter server will overwrite existing values. Values in limits not specified in the parameter server remain unchanged.

Returns

True if a limits specification is found (ie. the joint_limits/joint_name parameter exists in node), false otherwise.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

getJointLimits() [2/2]

bool joint_limits::getJointLimits ( const std::string &  joint_name, const rclcpp::Node::SharedPtr &  node, const std::string &  param_ns, SoftJointLimits &  soft_limits  )

inline

Populate a SoftJointLimits instance from the ROS parameter server.

It is assumed that the following parameter structure is followed on the provided NodeHandle. Only completely specified soft joint limits specifications will be considered valid.

 joint_limits: foo_joint: soft_lower_limit:
0.0 soft_upper_limit: 1.0 k_position: 10.0 k_velocity: 10.0 

This specification is similar to the specification of the safety_controller tag in the URDF, adapted to the parameter server.

Parameters

[in]	joint_name	Name of joint whose limits are to be fetched.
[in]	node	NodeHandle where the joint limits are specified.
[out]	soft_limits	Where soft joint limit data gets written into. Limits specified in the parameter server will overwrite existing values.

Returns

True if a complete soft limits specification is found (ie. if all k_position, k_velocity, soft_lower_limit and soft_upper_limit exist in joint_limits/joint_name namespace), false otherwise.
