Detailed Description

The class modelling the marXbot robot.

This inherits from PhyMarXbot, so you can use all its methods

Definition at line 268 of file robots.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MarXbot	(	ConfigurationParameters &	params,
		QString	prefix
	)

Constructor.

Parameters

params	the configuration parameters object with parameters to use
prefix	the prefix to use to access the object configuration parameters. This is guaranteed to end with the separator character when called by the factory, so you don't need to add one

Definition at line 118 of file robots.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

void describe ( QString  type )

static

Add to Factory::typeDescriptions() the descriptions of all parameters and subgroups.

Parameters

type

is the name of the type regarding the description. The type is used when a subclass reuse the description of its parent calling the parent describe method passing the type of the subclass. In this way, the result of the method describe of the parent will be the addition of the description of the parameters of the parent class into the type of the subclass

Definition at line 172 of file robots.cpp.

References ParameterSettable::addTypeDescription(), and RobotOnPlane::describe().

bool isKinematic ( ) const

virtual

Returns true if the robot is in kinematic mode.

Returns

true if the robot is in kinematic mode

Implements RobotOnPlane.

Definition at line 251 of file robots.cpp.

References PhyMarXbot::isKinematic().

real orientation ( const Box2DWrapper *  plane ) const

virtual

Returns the orientation of the robot.

This returns the angle around the z axis of the "plane". An angle of 0 means that the X axis of the plane and of the robot are coincident (positive angles follow the right-hand rule). This function returns the angle in radiants

Parameters

plane

the plane on which the robot is placed. You can use the plane returned by Arena::getPlane(), here.

Warning

the orientation returned by this function is not the same as the orientation set by setOrientation, there is a difference of (pi/2)

Implements RobotOnPlane.

Definition at line 235 of file robots.cpp.

References WObject::matrix(), and Box2DWrapper::phyObject().

wVector position ( ) const

virtual

Returns the position of the robot.

Returns

the position of the robot

Implements RobotOnPlane.

Definition at line 216 of file robots.cpp.

References WObject::matrix().

QColor robotColor ( ) const

virtual

Returns the color of the robot.

Returns

the color of the robot

Implements RobotOnPlane.

Definition at line 256 of file robots.cpp.

References WObject::color().

real robotHeight ( ) const

virtual

Returns the height of the robot.

This is the height of the cylinder containing the robot. In some cases wheeled robots are modelled as cylinders to simplify calculations

Returns

the height of the robot

Implements RobotOnPlane.

Definition at line 241 of file robots.cpp.

real robotRadius ( ) const

virtual

Returns the radius of the robot.

This is the radius of the cylinder containing the robot. In some cases wheeled robots are modelled as cylinders to simplify calculations

Returns

the radius of the robot

Implements RobotOnPlane.

Definition at line 246 of file robots.cpp.

void save ( ConfigurationParameters &  params, QString  prefix  )

virtual

Saves the actual status of parameters into the ConfigurationParameters object passed.

This is not implemented, calling this causes an abort

Parameters

params	the configuration parameters object on which save actual parameters
prefix	the prefix to use to access the object configuration parameters.

Reimplemented from RobotOnPlane.

Definition at line 167 of file robots.cpp.

References Logger::error().

void setOrientation ( const Box2DWrapper *  plane, real  angle  )

virtual

Sets the orientation of the robot.

This modifies the angle around the z axis of the "plane". An angle of 0 means that the X axis of the plane and of the robot are coincident (positive angles follow the right-hand rule). This function wants the angle in radiants

Parameters

plane	the plane on which the robot is placed. You can use the plane returned by Arena::getPlane(), here.
angle	the new orientation in radiants

Implements RobotOnPlane.

Definition at line 221 of file robots.cpp.

References WObject::matrix(), and WObject::setMatrix().

void setPosition ( const Box2DWrapper *  plane, real  x, real  y  )

virtual

Sets the position of the robot in the plane.

The robot is placed on the face of the "plane" parallel to the local XY plane and with positive z coordinate.

Parameters

plane	the plane on which the robot should be placed. You can use the plane returned by Arena::getPlane(), here.
x	the new x coordinate
y	the new y coordinate

Implements RobotOnPlane.
