Teleport

Motion controller which changes instantly robot pose (position and orientation)

This actuator teleports the robot to the absolute position and orientation with respect to the origin of the Blender coordinate reference. Angles are expected in radians.

Note

Coordinates are given with respect to the origin of Blender’s coordinate axis.

Configuration parameters for teleport

No configurable parameter.

Data fields

This actuator reads these datafields at each simulation step:

  • x (float, initial value: initial robot X position)

    X coordinate of the destination, in meter

  • y (float, initial value: initial robot Y position)

    Y coordinate of the destination, in meter

  • z (float, initial value: initial robot Z position)

    Z coordinate of the destination, in meter

  • yaw (float, initial value: Initial robot yaw)

    Rotation of the robot around Z axis, in radian

  • pitch (float, initial value: Initial robot pitch)

    Rotation of the robot around Y axis, in radian

  • roll (float, initial value: Initial robot roll)

    Rotation of the robot around X axis, in radian

Interface support:

Services for Teleport

  • translate(x, y, z) (blocking)

    Translate the actuator owner by the given (x,y,z) vector.

    This is a relative displacement.

    • Parameters
      • x: X translation, in meter
      • y: (default: 0.0) Y translation, in meter
      • z: (default: 0.0) Z translation, in meter
  • get_configurations() (blocking)

    Returns the configurations of a component (parsed from the properties).

    • Return value

      a dictionary of the current component’s configurations

  • get_properties() (blocking)

    Returns the properties of a component.

    • Return value

      a dictionary of the current component’s properties

  • rotate(roll, pitch, yaw) (blocking)

    Rotates the actuator owner by the given (roll,pitch,yaw).

    This is a relative rotation.

    • Parameters
      • roll: roll rotation, in radians
      • pitch: (default: 0.0) pitch rotation, in radians
      • yaw: (default: 0.0) yaw rotation, in radians

Examples

The following examples show how to use this component in a Builder script:

from morse.builder import *

robot = ATRV()

# creates a new instance of the actuator
teleport = Teleport()

# place your component at the correct location
teleport.translate(<x>, <y>, <z>)
teleport.rotate(<rx>, <ry>, <rz>)

robot.append(teleport)

# define one or several communication interface, like 'socket'
teleport.add_interface(<interface>)

env = Environment('empty')
