Detailed Description

An interface class that provides the primary input to a planner.

This interface class contains protected instances of Geom and Model. Wrappers to methods from Geom provide collision detection and distance computation. Wrappers to methods from Model provide incremental simulation of a kinematic or dynamical system. It is expected a planner can get all (or nearly all) of the information it needs from Problem.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Problem::Problem Geom   geom,
Model   model,
string    path
 

Problem must be given any instance of Geom and any instance of Model from each of their class hierarchies.

virtual Problem::~Problem   [inline, virtual]
 

Empty destructor.


Member Function Documentation

bool Problem::CollisionFree const MSLVector   q [virtual]
 

The collision checker passed in from Geom.

MSLVector Problem::ConfigurationDifference const MSLVector   q1,
const MSLVector   q2
[virtual]
 

Compute a MSLVector based on q2-q1. In R^n, the configurations are simply subtracted to make the MSLVector. This method exists to make things work correctly for other configuration-space topologies.

double Problem::DistanceComp const MSLVector   q [virtual]
 

The distance computation algorithm from Geom.

list< MSLVector > Problem::GetInputs   [virtual]
 

Return a list of possible inputs.

list< MSLVector > Problem::GetInputs const MSLVector   x [virtual]
 

Return a list of possible inputs, which may depend on state.

MSLVector Problem::Integrate const MSLVector   x,
const MSLVector   u,
const double &    deltat
[virtual]
 

Perform integration from state x, using input u, over time deltat.

MSLVector Problem::InterpolateState const MSLVector   x1,
const MSLVector   x2,
const double &    a
[virtual]
 

Linearly interpolate two states while respecting topology.

If a=0, then x1 is returned; if a=1, then x2 is returned. All intermediate values of $a \in [0,1]$ yield intermediate states. This method is defined by Model.

double Problem::Metric const MSLVector   x1,
const MSLVector   x2
[virtual]
 

A distance metric defined in Model.

bool Problem::Satisfied const MSLVector   x [virtual]
 

This takes the logical AND of CollisionFree from Geom, and Satisfied from Model.

void Problem::SetGeom Geom   geom
 

Change the instance of Geom.

void Problem::SetModel Model   model
 

Change the instance of Model.

MSLVector Problem::StateDifference const MSLVector   x1,
const MSLVector   x2
[virtual]
 

Compute a MSLVector based on x2-x1. In R^n, the states are simply subtracted to make the MSLVector. This method exists to make things work correctly for other state-space topologies.

MSLVector Problem::StateToConfiguration const MSLVector   x [virtual]
 

A method that converts a Model state in to a Geom configuration.
