Detailed Description
Each interface has a corresponding proxy.
Modules | |
aio | |
The aio proxy provides an interface to the analog input/output sensors. | |
actarray | |
The actarray proxy provides an interface to actuator arrays such as the ActivMedia Pioneer Arm. See the Player User Manual for a complete description of the drivers that support this interface. | |
audio | |
The audio proxy provides access to drivers supporting the interface_audio . See the Player User Manual for a complete description of the drivers that support this interface. | |
blackboard | |
The blackboard proxy provides an interface to a simple data-store in a similar fashion to a hash-map. Data is set and retrieved by using a label. Any player message structure can be stored in the blackboard. At this time it is up to the user to pack and unpack the entry data. The xdr functions can be used to do this. | |
blinkenlight | |
The blinkenlight proxy provides an interface to a (possibly colored and/or blinking) indicator light. | |
blobfinder | |
The blobfinder proxy provides an interface to color blob detectors such as the ACTS vision system. See the Player User Manual for a complete description of the drivers that support this interface. | |
bumper | |
The bumper proxy provides an interface to the bumper sensors built into robots such as the RWI B21R. | |
camera | |
The camera proxy can be used to get images from a camera. | |
cooperating object | |
The coopobject proxy provides an interface to a networked Cooperating Object (Wireless Sensor Network, Networked Robot, etc.) | |
dio | |
The dio proxy provides an interface to the digital input/output sensors. | |
fiducial | |
The fiducial proxy provides an interface to a fiducial detector. This device looks for fiducials (markers or beacons) in the laser scan, and determines their identity, range, bearing and orientation. See the Player User Manual for a complete description of the various drivers that support the fiducial interface. | |
gps | |
The gps proxy provides an interface to a GPS-receiver. | |
graphics2d | |
The graphics2d proxy provides an interface to the graphics2d. | |
graphics3d | |
The graphics3d proxy provides an interface to the graphics3d. | |
gripper | |
The gripper proxy provides an interface to the gripper. | |
health | |
The health proxy provides an interface to the HEALTH Module. | |
ir | |
The ir proxy provides an interface to the ir sensors built into robots such as the RWI B21R. | |
joystick | |
The joystick proxy can be used to get images from a joystick. | |
laser | |
The laser proxy provides an interface to scanning laser range finders such as the sicklms200. Data is returned in the playerc_laser_t structure. | |
limb | |
The limb proxy provides an interface to limbs using forward/inverse kinematics, such as the ActivMedia Pioneer Arm. See the Player User Manual for a complete description of the drivers that support this interface. | |
localize | |
The localize proxy provides an interface to localization drivers. Generally speaking, these are abstract drivers that attempt to localize the robot by matching sensor observations (odometry, laser and/or sonar) against a prior map of the environment (such as an occupancy grid). Since the pose may be ambiguous, multiple hypotheses may returned; each hypothesis specifies one possible pose estimate for the robot. See the Player manual for details of the localize interface, and and drivers that support it (such as the amcl driver). | |
log | |
The log proxy provides start/stop control of data logging. | |
map | |
The map proxy provides an interface to a map. | |
vectormap | |
The vectormap proxy provides an interface to a map of geometric features. | |
opaque | |
The opaque proxy provides an interface for generic messages to drivers. See examples/plugins/opaquedriver for an example of using this interface in combination with a custom plugin. | |
planner | |
The planner proxy provides an interface to a 2D motion planner. | |
position1d | |
The position1d proxy provides an interface to 1 DOF actuator such as a linear or rotational actuator. | |
position2d | |
The position2d proxy provides an interface to a mobile robot base, such as the ActiveMedia Pioneer series. The proxy supports both differential drive robots (which are capable of forward motion and rotation) and omni-drive robots (which are capable of forward, sideways and rotational motion). | |
position3d | |
The position3d proxy provides an interface to a mobile robot base, such as the Segway RMP series. The proxy supports both differential drive robots (which are capable of forward motion and rotation) and omni-drive robots (which are capable of forward, sideways and rotational motion). | |
power | |
The power proxy provides an interface through which battery levels can be monitored. | |
ptz | |
The ptz proxy provides an interface to pan-tilt units such as the Sony PTZ camera. | |
ranger | |
The ranger proxy provides an interface to ranger sensor devices. | |
sonar | |
The sonar proxy provides an interface to the sonar range sensors built into robots such as the ActiveMedia Pioneer series. | |
wifi | |
The wifi proxy is used to query the state of a wireless network. It returns information such as the link quality and signal strength of access points or of other wireless NIC's on an ad-hoc network. | |
simulation | |
The simulation proxy is used to interact with objects in a simulation. | |
speech | |
The speech proxy provides an interface to a speech synthesis system. | |
speech recognition | |
The speech recognition proxy provides an interface to a speech recognition system. | |
rfid | |
The rfid proxy provides an interface to a RFID reader. | |
pointcloud3d | |
The pointcloud3d proxy provides an interface to a pointcloud3d device. | |
stereo | |
The stereo proxy provides an interface to a stereo device. | |
imu | |
The imu proxy provides an interface to an Inertial Measurement Unit. | |
wsn | |
The wsn proxy provides an interface to a Wireless Sensor Network. | |
