Conversation
The PR adds `MODE_TORQUE` to the supported control modes and extends the external control urscript with a torque thread that applies the latest `cmd_torque` as torque command.
This adds an example for using the script_command interface.
UniversalRobots#336) …oller in task space The pd controller in joint space will accept joint targets and compute joint torques based on PD control scheme. The pd controller in task space will accept task space targets and use inverse kinematics to compute joint targets which are then used to compute joint torques based on PD control scheme. --------- Co-authored-by: Felix Exner <feex@universal-robots.com>

…versalRobots#348) This way all non-torque-control-related things should work on software versions not supporting torque control
Add an example using direct torque control.
And move clang-tidy check out of the industrial_ci run
This reverts commit c0d4ee5.
…UniversalRobots#356) Temporarily relax the version check for torque control features. The torque control features will be available from 5.23.0 on. However, as we are currently running a public beta program, where the reported software version is 5.22.0 we should relax the version check until 5.23.0 is actually released.
To make it easier to change the example for manual testing, let's define the target torque's absolute value in one place only.
The function names didn't match this repo's style guide.
The script command has been renamed in the controller.
It is still planned to add the PD controller. However, we would like it not to postpone merging torque_control to master.
torque control is now available in released software versions, the API is considered stable and we do have documentation available.

I think, we should make sure that all tests succeed before merging. It seems like we need to skip a couple of tests on "older" software versions. |

This branch adds direct torque control to the client library. This is a sub-feature of the torque_control branch, basically not including the impedance-like PD controller.
This PR adds the functionality to command the robot by sending joint torques directly.
