Detailed Description

Each interface has a corresponding proxy.

Modules

 aio
 The aio proxy provides an interface to the analog input/output sensors.
 
 actarray
 The actarray proxy provides an interface to actuator arrays such as the ActivMedia Pioneer Arm. See the Player User Manual for a complete description of the drivers that support this interface.
 
 audio
 The audio proxy provides access to drivers supporting the audio . See the Player User Manual for a complete description of the drivers that support this interface.
 
 blackboard
 The blackboard proxy provides an interface to a simple data-store in a similar fashion to a hash-map. Data is set and retrieved by using a label. Any player message structure can be stored in the blackboard. At this time it is up to the user to pack and unpack the entry data. The xdr functions can be used to do this.
 
 blinkenlight
 The blinkenlight proxy provides an interface to a (possibly colored and/or blinking) indicator light.
 
 blobfinder
 The blobfinder proxy provides an interface to color blob detectors such as the ACTS vision system. See the Player User Manual for a complete description of the drivers that support this interface.
 
 bumper
 The bumper proxy provides an interface to the bumper sensors built into robots such as the RWI B21R.
 
 camera
 The camera proxy can be used to get images from a camera.
 
 cooperating object
 The coopobject proxy provides an interface to a networked Cooperating Object (Wireless Sensor Network, Networked Robot, etc.)
 
 dio
 The dio proxy provides an interface to the digital input/output sensors.
 
 fiducial
 The fiducial proxy provides an interface to a fiducial detector. This device looks for fiducials (markers or beacons) in the laser scan, and determines their identity, range, bearing and orientation. See the Player User Manual for a complete description of the various drivers that support the fiducial interface.
 
 gps
 The gps proxy provides an interface to a GPS-receiver.
 
 graphics2d
 The graphics2d proxy provides an interface to the graphics2d.
 
 graphics3d
 The graphics3d proxy provides an interface to the graphics3d.
 
 gripper
 The gripper proxy provides an interface to the gripper.
 
 health
 The health proxy provides an interface to the HEALTH Module.
 
 ir
 The ir proxy provides an interface to the ir sensors built into robots such as the RWI B21R.
 
 joystick
 The joystick proxy can be used to get images from a joystick.
 
 laser
 The laser proxy provides an interface to scanning laser range finders such as the sicklms200. Data is returned in the playerc_laser_t structure.
 
 limb
 The limb proxy provides an interface to limbs using forward/inverse kinematics, such as the ActivMedia Pioneer Arm. See the Player User Manual for a complete description of the drivers that support this interface.
 
 localize
 The localize proxy provides an interface to localization drivers. Generally speaking, these are abstract drivers that attempt to localize the robot by matching sensor observations (odometry, laser and/or sonar) against a prior map of the environment (such as an occupancy grid). Since the pose may be ambiguous, multiple hypotheses may returned; each hypothesis specifies one possible pose estimate for the robot. See the Player manual for details of the localize interface, and and drivers that support it (such as the amcl driver).
 
 log
 The log proxy provides start/stop control of data logging.
 
 map
 The map proxy provides an interface to a map.
 
 vectormap
 The vectormap proxy provides an interface to a map of geometric features.
 
 opaque
 The opaque proxy provides an interface for generic messages to drivers. See examples/plugins/opaquedriver for an example of using this interface in combination with a custom plugin.
 
 planner
 The planner proxy provides an interface to a 2D motion planner.
 
 position1d
 The position1d proxy provides an interface to 1 DOF actuator such as a linear or rotational actuator.
 
 position2d
 The position2d proxy provides an interface to a mobile robot base, such as the ActiveMedia Pioneer series. The proxy supports both differential drive robots (which are capable of forward motion and rotation) and omni-drive robots (which are capable of forward, sideways and rotational motion).
 
 position3d
 The position3d proxy provides an interface to a mobile robot base, such as the Segway RMP series. The proxy supports both differential drive robots (which are capable of forward motion and rotation) and omni-drive robots (which are capable of forward, sideways and rotational motion).
 
 power
 The power proxy provides an interface through which battery levels can be monitored.
 
 ptz
 The ptz proxy provides an interface to pan-tilt units such as the Sony PTZ camera.
 
 ranger
 The ranger proxy provides an interface to ranger sensor devices.
 
 sonar
 The sonar proxy provides an interface to the sonar range sensors built into robots such as the ActiveMedia Pioneer series.
 
 wifi
 The wifi proxy is used to query the state of a wireless network. It returns information such as the link quality and signal strength of access points or of other wireless NIC's on an ad-hoc network.
 
 simulation
 The simulation proxy is used to interact with objects in a simulation.
 
 speech
 The speech proxy provides an interface to a speech synthesis system.
 
 speech recognition
 The speech recognition proxy provides an interface to a speech recognition system.
 
 rfid
 The rfid proxy provides an interface to a RFID reader.
 
 pointcloud3d
 The pointcloud3d proxy provides an interface to a pointcloud3d device.
 
 stereo
 The stereo proxy provides an interface to a stereo device.
 
 imu
 The imu proxy provides an interface to an Inertial Measurement Unit.
 
 wsn
 The wsn proxy provides an interface to a Wireless Sensor Network.
