Detailed Description

The task context provides and requires services. It uses an ExecutionEngine to perform its functions. Essential interfaces are operations, data flow ports and properties. These interfaces have been defined using the oroGen specification. In order to modify the interfaces you should (re)use oroGen and rely on the associated workflow.

The name of a TaskContext is primarily defined via:

deployment 'deployment_name'
    task('custom_task_name','pose_estimation::OrientationEstimator')
end

It can be dynamically adapted when the deployment is called with a prefix argument.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

OrientationEstimator::OrientationEstimator ( std::string const &  name = "pose_estimation::OrientationEstimator")

TaskContext constructor for OrientationEstimator

Parameters
nameName of the task. This name needs to be unique to make it identifiable via nameservices.
initial_stateThe initial TaskState of the TaskContext. Default is Stopped state.
OrientationEstimator::OrientationEstimator ( std::string const &  name,
RTT::ExecutionEngine *  engine 
)

TaskContext constructor for OrientationEstimator

Parameters
nameName of the task. This name needs to be unique to make it identifiable for nameservices.
engineThe RTT Execution engine to be used for this task, which serialises the execution of all commands, programs, state machines and incoming events for a task.
OrientationEstimator::~OrientationEstimator ( )

Default deconstructor of OrientationEstimator

Member Function Documentation

bool OrientationEstimator::addHeadingOffset ( double  heading_offset,
double  variance 
)
protectedvirtual

Add an offset to the current heading and reinitialize the filter. This is commonly used to align the heading estimate to the true north.

void OrientationEstimator::cleanupHook ( )

This hook is called by Orocos when the state machine transitions from Stopped to PreOperational, requiring the call to configureHook() before calling start() again.

bool OrientationEstimator::configureHook ( )

The following lines are template definitions for the various state machine.

This hook is called by Orocos when the state machine transitions from PreOperational to Stopped. If it returns false, then the component will stay in PreOperational. Otherwise, it goes into Stopped.

It is meaningful only if the #needs_configuration has been specified in the task context definition with (for example):

task_context "TaskName" do
  needs_configuration
  ...
end
void OrientationEstimator::errorHook ( )

This hook is called by Orocos when the component is in the RunTimeError state, at each activity step. See the discussion in updateHook() about triggering options.

Call recover() to go back in the Runtime state.

void OrientationEstimator::imu_sensor_samplesTransformerCallback ( const base::Time &  ts,
const ::base::samples::IMUSensors &  imu_sensor_samples_sample 
)
protectedvirtual
bool OrientationEstimator::initializeFilter ( const Eigen::Quaterniond &  orientation,
const Eigen::Matrix3d &  orientation_cov,
const OrientationUKFConfig &  filter_config 
)
protected
void OrientationEstimator::predictionStep ( const base::Time &  sample_time)
protected

Applies a prediction step of the filter with a given current sample time. The delta time step is the difference between the last sample time and the current one.

bool OrientationEstimator::setProcessNoise ( const OrientationUKFConfig &  filter_config,
double  sensor_delta_t 
)
protected
bool OrientationEstimator::startHook ( )

This hook is called by Orocos when the state machine transitions from Stopped to Running. If it returns false, then the component will stay in Stopped. Otherwise, it goes into Running and updateHook() will be called.

void OrientationEstimator::stopHook ( )

This hook is called by Orocos when the state machine transitions from Running to Stopped after stop() has been called.

void OrientationEstimator::updateHook ( )

This hook is called by Orocos when the component is in the Running state, at each activity step. Here, the activity gives the "ticks" when the hook should be called.

The error(), exception() and fatal() calls, when called in this hook, allow to get into the associated RunTimeError, Exception and FatalError states.

In the first case, updateHook() is still called, and recover() allows you to go back into the Running state. In the second case, the errorHook() will be called instead of updateHook(). In Exception, the component is stopped and recover() needs to be called before starting it again. Finally, FatalError cannot be recovered.

void OrientationEstimator::velocity_samplesTransformerCallback ( const base::Time &  ts,
const ::base::samples::RigidBodyState &  velocity_samples_sample 
)
