Detailed Description

Plugin which publishes a message if the model it is attached to has touched one or more specified targets continuously during a given time.

After publishing, the plugin is disabled. It can be re-enabled through a Gazebo Transport service call.

The plugin requires that a contact sensors is placed in at least one link on the model on which this plugin is attached.

System Parameters

  • <target> Name, or substring of a name, that identifies the target collision entity/entities. This value is searched in the scoped name of all collision entities, so it can possibly match more than one collision. For example, using the name of a model will match all of its collisions (scoped name /model_name/link_name/collision_name).
  • <time> Target time in seconds to maintain contact.
  • <namespace> Namespace for transport topics/services:
    • /<namespace>/enable : Service used to enable and disable the plugin.
    • /<namespace>/touched : Topic where a message is published once the touch event occurs.
  • <enabled> Set this to true so the plugin works from the start and doesn't need to be enabled.
