Different types of ROS controllers and hardware interfaces

Let's see the list of ROS packages that contain the standard ROS controllers:

  • joint_position_controller: This is a simple implementation of the joint position controller
  • joint_state_controller: This is a controller to publish joint states
  • joint_effort_controller: This is an implementation of the joint effort (force) controller

The following are some of the commonly used hardware interfaces in ROS:

  • Joint Command Interfaces: This will send the commands to the hardware
  • Effort Joint Interface: This will send the effort command
  • Velocity Joint Interface: This will send the velocity command
  • Position Joint Interface: This will send the position command
  • Joint State Interfaces: This will ...
