Detailed Description

template<typename MPTraits>
class MPStrategyMethod< MPTraits >

Base algorithm abstraction for Motion Planning Strategies.

MPStrategyMethod has one main function, operator(), which performs preprocessing, processing, and postprocessing functionalities of the motion planning algorithm.

Usage:\n
MPStrategyPointer mps = this->GetMPStrategy(m_mpsLabel);
(*mps)(); //call as a function object
mps->operator()(); //call with pointer notation
MPStrategyPointer GetMPStrategy(const std::string &) const noexcept
Get a strategy by label from the owning MPLibrary.
Definition: MPBaseObject.h:426
Todo:
Incorporate path constraints when generating the start and goal.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Print()

template<typename MPTraits >
void MPStrategyMethod< MPTraits >::Print ( std::ostream &  _os) const
overridevirtual

Print internal state of this object.

Parameters
_osThe std::ostream to print to.

Reimplemented from MPBaseObject< MPTraits >.

Reimplemented in AdaptiveRRT< MPTraits >, BasicRRTStrategy< MPTraits >, BasicPRM< MPTraits >, GroupDecoupledStrategy< MPTraits >, and TogglePRMStrategy< MPTraits >.

◆ EnableOutputFiles()

template<typename MPTraits >
void MPStrategyMethod< MPTraits >::EnableOutputFiles ( const bool  _enable = true)

Set output file writing to on or off (on by default). This is used to suppress generation of roadmap, path, and stat files.

Parameters
_enableTrue to enable, false to disable.

◆ Run()

template<typename MPTraits >
void MPStrategyMethod< MPTraits >::Run
protectedvirtual

Call Iterate until EvaluateMap is true.

Reimplemented in ValidationStrategy< MPTraits >.

◆ Iterate()

template<typename MPTraits >
virtual void MPStrategyMethod< MPTraits >::Iterate ( )
protectedvirtual

◆ Finalize()

template<typename MPTraits >
void MPStrategyMethod< MPTraits >::Finalize
protectedvirtual

◆ GenerateStart()

template<typename MPTraits >
size_t MPStrategyMethod< MPTraits >::GenerateStart ( const std::string &  _samplerLabel = "")
protectedvirtual

Generate a 'start' node for the task and add it to the roadmap.

Parameters
_samplerLabelThe label for the sampler to use if no query sampler was provided, or empty to require a query sampler.
Returns
The VID of the generated configuration.
Note
This returns size_t so that it will work for both individual and group strategies (all VID types are typedefs for size_t).

Reimplemented in GroupStrategyMethod< MPTraits >.

◆ GenerateGoals()

template<typename MPTraits >
std::vector< size_t > MPStrategyMethod< MPTraits >::GenerateGoals ( const std::string &  _samplerLabel = "")
protectedvirtual

Generate 'goal' node(s) for the task and add it(them) to the roadmap.

Parameters
_samplerLabelThe label for the sampler to use if no query sampler was provided, or empty to require a query sampler.
Returns
The VIDs of the generated configurations.
Note
This returns size_t so that it will work for both individual and group strategies (all VID types are typedefs for size_t).

Reimplemented in GroupStrategyMethod< MPTraits >.

◆ Initialize()

template<typename MPTraits >
virtual void MPBaseObject< MPTraits >::Initialize ( )
virtualinherited

Initialize this object for the current MPProblem. This should reset any internal state of the algorithms so that they are ready for execution. It is also the place to initialize any state that depends on the current problem.

Warning
This member will be called for every compiled algorithm in the planning library - even those that will not be used. If an algorithm needs to do expenisve setup, then this method should only set a flag that tells it to do so on first use. The only exceptions are the MPStrategies, which will only have their initialize called on first use.

Reimplemented in ConnectorMethod< MPTraits >, CBSQuery< MPTraits >, ComposeEvaluator< MPTraits >, LazyQuery< MPTraits >, QueryMethod< MPTraits >, SIPPMethod< MPTraits >, TimeEvaluator< MPTraits >, TimeMetric< MPTraits >, AdaptiveRRT< MPTraits >, BasicPRM< MPTraits >, BasicRRTStrategy< MPTraits >, TogglePRMStrategy< MPTraits >, ValidationStrategy< MPTraits >, LKHSearch< MPTraits >, ClearanceUtility< MPTraits >, ReachabilityUtil< MPTraits >, SafeIntervalTool< MPTraits >, and TopologicalMap< MPTraits >.

◆ SetName()

template<typename MPTraits >
void MPBaseObject< MPTraits >::SetName ( const std::string &  _s)
protectedinherited
Parameters
_sClass name

◆ GetBaseFilename()

template<typename MPTraits >
const std::string & MPBaseObject< MPTraits >::GetBaseFilename ( ) const
protectedinherited
Returns
base file name from MPProblem
