Detailed Description

gRPC client for a robot, to be used for all interactions with a robot. There are two ways to instantiate a robot:

RobotClient::at_address(...)
RobotClient::with_channel(...)

You must close() a robot when finished with it in order to release its resources. Robots creates via at_address will automatically close, but robots created via with_channel require a user call to close().

Member Function Documentation

◆ at_address()

static std::shared_ptr< RobotClient > viam::sdk::RobotClient::at_address	(	const std::string &	address,
		const Options &	options )

static

Create a robot client connected to the robot at the provided address.

Parameters

address	The address of the robot (IP address, URI, URL, etc.)
options	Options for connecting and refreshing.

◆ at_local_socket()

static std::shared_ptr< RobotClient > viam::sdk::RobotClient::at_local_socket	(	const std::string &	address,
		const Options &	options )

static

Creates a robot client connected to the robot at the provided local socket.

Parameters

address	The local socket of the robot (a .sock file, etc.).
options	Options for connecting and refreshing. Creates a direct connection to the robot using the `unix://` scheme. Only useful for connecting to robots across Unix sockets.

◆ block_for_operation()

void viam::sdk::RobotClient::block_for_operation ( std::string id )

Blocks on the specified operation of the robot, returning when it is complete.

Parameters

id	The ID of the operation to block on.

◆ cancel_operation()

void viam::sdk::RobotClient::cancel_operation ( std::string id )

Cancel a specified operation on the robot.

Parameters

id	The ID of the operation to cancel.

◆ get_frame_system_config()

std::vector< frame_system_config > viam::sdk::RobotClient::get_frame_system_config ( const std::vector< WorldState::transform > & additional_transforms = {} )

Get the configuration of the frame system of the given robot.

Returns: The configuration of the calling robot's frame system.

◆ get_operations()

std::vector< operation > viam::sdk::RobotClient::get_operations ( )

Get the list of operations currently running on a robot.

Returns: The list of operations currently running on the calling robot.

◆ resource_by_name() [1/2]

std::shared_ptr< Resource > viam::sdk::RobotClient::resource_by_name ( const Name & name )

Lookup and return a shared_ptr to a resource.

Parameters

name	The `Name` of the resource.

Exceptions

`Exception` if the requested resource doesn't exist or is the wrong type.

Returns: a shared_ptr to the requested resource as an uncasted Resource.

This method should not be called directly except in specific cases. The type-annotated resource_by_name<T>(name) overload is the preferred method for obtaining resources.

Because the return type here is a Resource, the user will need to manually cast to the desired type.

◆ resource_by_name() [2/2]

template<typename T >

std::shared_ptr< T > viam::sdk::RobotClient::resource_by_name ( std::string name )

inline

Lookup and return a shared_ptr to a resource of the requested type.

Parameters

name	The ordinary name of the resource.

Exceptions

`Exception` if the requested resource doesn't exist or is the wrong type.

Returns: a shared_ptr to the requested resource.

◆ stop_all()

void viam::sdk::RobotClient::stop_all ( const std::unordered_map< Name, ProtoStruct > & extra )

Cancel all operations for the robot and stop all actuators and movement.

Parameters

extra Any extra params to pass to resources' stop methods, keyed by Name.

◆ transform_pose()

pose_in_frame viam::sdk::RobotClient::transform_pose	(	const pose_in_frame &	query,
		std::string	destination,
		const std::vector< WorldState::transform > &	additional_transforms = {} )

Transform a given Pose to a new specified destination which is a reference frame.

Parameters

query	The pose that should be transformed.
destination	The name of the reference frame to transform the given pose to.

Returns: the pose_in_frame of the transformed pose.

◆ with_channel()

static std::shared_ptr< RobotClient > viam::sdk::RobotClient::with_channel	(	std::shared_ptr< ViamChannel >	channel,
		const Options &	options )

static

Creates a robot client connected to the provided channel.

Parameters

channel	The channel to connect with.
options	Options for connecting and refreshing. Connects directly to a pre-existing channel. A robot created this way must be `close()`d manually.
