ros_sugar.robot.command#

Robot command descriptor.

A RobotCommand declares one command surface a plugin exposes: which standard message type it stands in for, which transport carries it, and how to encode a component’s output into a wire payload.

RobotCommand

A robot command surface.

CommandSpec

Introspection record for a RobotCommand (see plugin.list_commands).

API#

class ros_sugar.robot.command.RobotCommand#

Bases: ros_sugar.config.BaseAttrs

A robot command surface.

Parameters:

  • key – Registry key on plugin.commands. A recipe routes an output topic through this command with Topic(..., use_plugin=True); resolution matches the topic’s name against this key first, then falls back to a unique message-type match. For plugins that expose exactly one command per message type, conventionally the message-type name ("Twist"). For plugins with multiple commands of the same type (e.g. a humanoid’s "left_arm" / "right_arm" JointStates), choose a descriptive role name and name the recipe’s topic to match it.

  • transport – Transport the command is sent on.

  • encoder – encoder(output) -> payload — turns a component’s output (the value it would have published) into the transport’s wire payload (bytes for UDP/HTTP, an SDK object for SDK, a request for RosServiceTransport).

  • msg_type – Optional SupportedType subclass — set only when the transport is ROS-typed (RosTopicTransport).

  • description – Human-readable description.

property channel: str#

Command bus channel, used when transport.route_via_host is set.

Introspection record for a RobotCommand (see plugin.list_commands).

key is the registry key on plugin.commands. To route an output through this command, set Topic(use_plugin=True) and name the topic after this key (needed only to disambiguate multiple commands of the same message type).
