ROS-based robot-agnostic software architecture for interaction controllers

Interaction controllers

This repository is a collection of ROS packages needed to perform interaction control on both simulated and real robots. It is structured as follows:

• the ros_control_controllers package contains the implementation of the direct force controller and admittance controller;
• the force_torque_sensor package contains the library to handle the communication with real and simulated force/torque sensors;
• the workspace_trajectory_msgs and workspace_trajectory packages contain the definition of a workspace trajectory message and a library to manage it;
• the acg_control_msgs package defines the FollowWorkspaceTrajectory message needed for the transmission of a workspace trajectory through the action interface;
• follow_workspace_trajectory_action_client package implements an Action Client over the FollowWorkspaceTrajectory action.
• the smartsix container provides description, configuration and start up files for the Comau Smart-Six robot;
• the ur10_acg_configuration container provides configuration and start up files for the Universal Robot's UR10 robot.

Refer to the Readmes of the single packages for further information.
