Documentation

Math Packages

• angles - A collection of methods for computing angles.

Geometric Packages

• bullet - A physics engine

  • Primary used for linear math library
  • Experimentally used for collision engine.

• kdl - A kinematics and dynamics package.

  • Primarily used for robot kinematics

• tf - A coordinate transform library

  • Used to keep track of coordinate frames throughout the robot

• tf_conversions - A set of conversion functions to go between tf, kdl, and eigen datatypes.

Changes in Electric

New in Electric

eigen has been converted to a rosdep system dependency and is no longer a ROS package.
