class compas.robots.Geometry(box=None, cylinder=None, sphere=None, capsule=None, mesh=None, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: Data

Geometrical description of the shape of a link.

Parameters

• box (Box, optional) – A box shape primitive.

• cylinder (Cylinder, optional) – A cylinder shape primitive.

• sphere (Sphere, optional) – A sphere shape primitive.

• capsule (Capsule, optional) – A capsule shape primitive.

• mesh (MeshDescriptor, optional) – A descriptor of a mesh.

• **kwargs (dict[str, Any], optional) – The keyword arguments (kwargs) collected in a dict. These allow using non-standard attributes absent in the URDF specification.

Attributes

• shape (object) – The shape of the geometry

• attr (keyword arguments) – Additional attributes

Examples

>>> box = compas.geometry.Box(Frame.worldXY(), 1, 1, 1)
>>> geo = Geometry(box=box)
