Robot Model was initiated and is currently developed at the Robotics Innovation Center of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) in Bremen.
Robot Model is responsible for holding the information regarding the robot joints and links. The robot model could also be used for checking collision detection.
As shown in the above figure this package depends on collision detection and kinematics libraries:
On any Unix based operating systems, you can install this package. A simple way to install this package is to use Rock framework. As this package is dependent only on the base-types of the Rock framework, it can also be build independent of the Rock framework.
This package uses a set of CMake helper shipped as the Rock CMake macros. Documentations is available on this page.
This directory structure follows some simple rules, to allow for generic build processes and simplify reuse of this project. Following these rules ensures that the Rock CMake macros automatically handle the project's build process and install setup properly.
| directory | purpose |
|---|---|
| src/ | Contains all header (.h/.hpp) and source files |
| build/ * | The target directory for the build process, temporary content |
| bindings/ | Language bindings for this package, e.g. put into subfolders such as |
| ruby/ | Ruby language bindings |
| viz/ | Source files for a vizkit plugin / widget related to this library |
| resources/ | General resources such as images that are needed by the program |
| configuration/ | Configuration files for running the program |
| external/ | When including software that needs a non standard installation process, or one that can be easily embedded include the external software directly here |
| doc/ | should contain the existing doxygen file: doxygen.conf |
