The core C++ library of giskard, a constraint- and optimization-based framework for robot motion control.
Using catkin_tools and wstool in a new workspace for ROS Indigo:
source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash # start using ROS Indigo
mkdir -p ~/giskard_ws/src # create directory for workspace
cd ~/giskard_ws # go to workspace directory
catkin init # init workspace
cd src # go to source directory of workspace
wstool init # init rosinstall
wstool merge https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SemRoCo/giskard_core/master/rosinstall/catkin.rosinstall
# update rosinstall file
wstool update # pull source repositories
rosdep install --ignore-src --from-paths . # install dependencies available through apt
cd .. # go to workspace directory
catkin build # build packages
source ~/giskard_ws/devel/setup.bash # source new overlay
rosrun giskard_core extract_expression <start_link> <end_link> <urdf_file> (optional <output_file>)
Example:
rosrun giskard_core extract_expression torso_lift_link l_wrist_roll_link test_data/pr2.urdf asd.yaml
