Detailed Description

Exposes transport topics and SDF params for applying forces and torques to links in simulation. It should be attached to a world.

The target link is defined in each message. If a link entity is provided, that will receive a wrench. If a model is provided, its canonical link will receive it. No other entity types are supported.

Forces and torques are expressed in world coordinates, and the force offset is expressed in the link frame.

Topics

• /world/<world_name>/wrench
  • Message type: msgs::EntityWrench
  • Effect: Applies the given wrench during a single time step.
• /world/<world_name>/wrench/persistent
  • Message type: msgs::EntityWrench
  • Effect: Keeps applying the given wrench every time step. Persistent wrenches can be applied to entities that aren't in simulation yet, and will start taking effect once they do.
• /world/<world_name>/wrench/clear
  • Message type: msgs::Entity
  • Effect: Clears any persistent wrenches that are being applied to the given entity.

System Parameters

Persistent wrenches can be defined from SDF, for example:

<persistent>
  <entity_name>box</entity_name>
  <entity_type>model</entity_type>
  <force>-10 0 0</force>
  <torque>0 0 0.1</torque>
</persistent>
