null_joint_controller

NullJointController

Bases: JointController

Dummy Controller class for a null-type of joint control (i.e.: no control or constant pass-through control). This class has a zero-size command space, and returns either an empty array for control if dof_idx is None else constant values as specified by @default_command (if not specified, uses zeros)

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
control_freq int

controller loop frequency

 required
control_limits Dict[str, Tuple[Array[float], Array[float]]]

The min/max limits to the outputted control signal. Should specify per-dof type limits, i.e.:

"position": [[min], [max]] "velocity": [[min], [max]] "effort": [[min], [max]] "has_limit": [...bool...]

Values outside of this range will be clipped, if the corresponding joint index in has_limit is True.

 required
dof_idx Array[int]

specific dof indices controlled by this robot. Used for inferring controller-relevant values during control computations

 required
command_input_limits None or "default" or Tuple[float, float] or Tuple[Array[float], Array[float]]

if set, is the min/max acceptable inputted command. Values outside this range will be clipped. If None, no clipping will be used. If "default", range will be set to (-1, 1)

 'default'
command_output_limits None or "default" or Tuple[float, float] or Tuple[Array[float], Array[float]]

if set, is the min/max scaled command. If both this value and @command_input_limits is not None, then all inputted command values will be scaled from the input range to the output range.

 'default'
default_command None or n-array

if specified, should be the same length as @dof_idx, specifying the default control for this controller to output

 None
