Sensor superclass
An abstact superclass to represent robot navigation sensors.
plot | plot a line from robot to map feature |
display | print the parameters in human readable form |
char | convert to string |
robot | The Vehicle object on which the sensor is mounted |
map | The Map object representing the landmarks around the robot |
Robotics, Vision & Control, Peter Corke, Springer 2011
Sensor object constructor
s = Sensor(vehicle, map, options) is a sensor mounted on the Vehicle object vehicle and observing the landmark map map.
s = Sensor(vehicle, map, R, options) is an instance of the Sensor object mounted on a vehicle represented by the object vehicle and observing features in the world represented by the object map.
'animate' | animate the action of the laser scanner |
'ls', LS | laser scan lines drawn with style ls (default 'r-') |
'skip', I | return a valid reading on every I'th call |
'fail', [TMIN TMAX | sensor simulates failure between timesteps TMIN and TMAX |
Convert sensor parameters to a string
s = S.char() is a string showing sensor parameters in a compact human readable format.
Display status of sensor object
S.display() displays the state of the sensor object in human-readable form.
Plot sensor reading
S.plot(J) draws a line from the robot to the map feature J.
