Configuration

class compas.robots.Configuration(joint_values=None, joint_types=None, joint_names=None)[source]

Bases: Data

Represents the configuration of a robot based on the state of its joints. If the names of joints are also provided, the configuration behaves as a dictionary of joint name-value pairs.

This concept is also refered to as “Joint State”.

Parameters
  • joint_values (list of float) – Joint values expressed in radians or meters, depending on the respective type.

  • joint_types (list of compas.robots.Joint.SUPPORTED_TYPES) – Joint types, e.g. a list of compas.robots.Joint.REVOLUTE for revolute joints.

  • joint_names (list[str], optional) – List of joint names.

Attributes
  • joint_values (list of float) – Joint values expressed in radians or meters, depending on the respective type.

  • joint_types (list of compas.robots.Joint.SUPPORTED_TYPES) – Joint types, e.g. a list of compas.robots.Joint.REVOLUTE for revolute joints.

  • joint_names (list[str]) – List of joint names.

  • data (dict) – The data representing the configuration.

  • prismatic_values (list of float) – Prismatic joint values in meters.

  • revolute_values (list of float) – Revolute joint values in radians.

Examples

>>> config = Configuration.from_revolute_values([math.pi/2, 0., 0.])
>>> config.joint_values
[1.5707963267948966, 0.0, 0.0]
>>> config = Configuration.from_prismatic_and_revolute_values([8.312], [math.pi/2, 0., 0., 0., 2*math.pi, 0.8])
>>> str(config)
'Configuration((8.312, 1.571, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 6.283, 0.800), (2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0))'
>>> from compas.robots import Joint
>>> config = Configuration([math.pi/2, 3., 0.1], [Joint.REVOLUTE, Joint.PRISMATIC, Joint.PLANAR])
>>> str(config)
'Configuration((1.571, 3.000, 0.100), (0, 2, 5))'

Methods
