ompl::control::ControlSampler Class Reference

Abstract definition of a control sampler. Motion planners that need to sample controls will call functions from this class. Planners should call the versions of sample() and sampleNext() with most arguments, whenever this information is available. More...

Public Member Functions
	ControlSampler (const ControlSampler &)=delete
ControlSampler &	operator= (const ControlSampler &)=delete
	ControlSampler (const ControlSpace *space)
	Constructor takes the state space to construct samples for as argument.
virtual void	sample (Control *control)=0
	Sample a control. All other control sampling functions default to this one, unless a user-specified implementation is given.
virtual void	sample (Control *control, const base::State *state)
	Sample a control, given it is applied to a specific state (state). The default implementation calls the previous definition of sample(). Providing a different implementation of this function is useful if, for example, the sampling of controls depends on the state of the system. When attempting to sample controls that keep a system stable, for example, knowing the state at which the control is applied is important.
virtual void	sampleNext (Control *control, const Control *previous)
	Sample a control, given the previously applied control. The default implementation calls the first definition of sample(). For some systems it is possible that large changes in controls are not desirable. For example, switching from maximum acceleration to maximum deceleration is not desirable when driving a car.
virtual void	sampleNext (Control *control, const Control *previous, const base::State *state)
	Sample a control, given the previously applied control and that it is applied to a specific state. The default implementation calls the first definition of sample(), even if other implementations of the sampleNext() shown above are provided. Often this function needs to be overridden as it is the function planners typically call.
virtual unsigned int	sampleStepCount (unsigned int minSteps, unsigned int maxSteps)
	Sample a number of steps to execute a control for.

Protected Attributes
const ControlSpace *	space_
	The control space this sampler operates on.
RNG	rng_
	Instance of random number generator.

Detailed Description
