Constructor & Destructor Documentation

tgImpedanceController::tgImpedanceController

(

)

Constructors.

The null constructor sets defaults values for the member variables.

Definition at line 55 of file tgImpedanceController.cpp.

tgImpedanceController::tgImpedanceController	(	double	offsetTension,
		double	lengthStiffness,
		double	velStiffness
	)

This constructor supplies initial values for all member variables.

Parameters

[in]	offsetTension	the initial value for the offset tension property; must be non-negative
[in]	lengthStiffness	the initial value for the length stiffness property; must be non-negative
[in]	velStiffness	the initial value for the velocity stiffness property; must be non-negative

Definition at line 67 of file tgImpedanceController.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

double tgImpedanceController::control	(	tgBasicController &	mLocalController,
		double	deltaTimeSeconds,
		double	newPosition,
		double	offsetVel = 0
	)

Control Functions.

Parameters

[in]	Control	a tgBasicActuator given a new offset force and a new offset velocity.
[in]	mString	a pointer to a tgBasicActuator; must not be NULL
[in]	deltaTimeSeconds	the number of seconds since the last call
[in]	newPosition	the current position of the Muscle

Todo:

should we add an offset position so it can just control??

Definition at line 106 of file tgImpedanceController.cpp.

double tgImpedanceController::control	(	tgBasicActuator &	mLocalController,
		double	deltaTimeSeconds,
		double	newPosition,
		double	offsetVel = 0
	)

For those who control on tension without PID

Member Data Documentation

double tgImpedanceController::m_lengthStiffness

protected

Used to determine the force component attributable to a Muscle's length. Must be non-negative to ensure stability. The units are kg/sec^2. When multiplied by the cable length it gives a force component.

Definition at line 160 of file tgImpedanceController.h.

double tgImpedanceController::m_offsetTension

protected

A force component. Must be non-negative to ensure stability. The units are application-dependent, e.g., Newtons or centinewtons.

Definition at line 151 of file tgImpedanceController.h.

double tgImpedanceController::m_velStiffness

protected

Used to determine the force component attributable to a Muscle's velocity. The units are kg/sec. When multiplied by the cable velocity it gives a force component. Must be non-negative to ensure stability
