v1.3.0
This release primarily focuses on improving the Robot
class:
- Only parse the non-fixed joints of the robot by default.
- Allow manually specifying which joints are actuated.
- Add the
set_joint_friction_force
method to enable free-moving joints. - Add the
command_effort
method for torque joint. - Add the
as_rotation_matrix
argument to theget_link_pose
methods to automatically convert the quaternion to a rotation matrix before returning it.
Two new examples have also been added: an under-actuated 2-link planar pendulum and a task-space robot arm control demo.
Finally, the function get_urdf_path
has also been added to obtain URDFs packaged with pyb_utils
(currently only the two-link pendulum mentioned above).
