anki_vector.behavior

Behavior related classes and functions.

Behaviors represent a complex task which requires Vector’s internal logic to determine how long it will take. This may include combinations of animation, path planning or other functionality. Examples include drive_on_charger, set_lift_height, etc.

For commands such as go_to_pose, drive_on_charger and dock_with_cube, Vector uses path planning, which refers to the problem of navigating the robot from point A to B without collisions. Vector loads known obstacles from his map, creates a path to navigate around those objects, then starts following the path. If a new obstacle is found while following the path, a new plan may be created.

The BehaviorComponent class in this module contains functions for all the behaviors.

Module Attributes

MIN_HEAD_ANGLE	The minimum angle the robot's head can be set to.
MAX_HEAD_ANGLE	The maximum angle the robot's head can be set to
MIN_LIFT_HEIGHT	The lowest height-above-ground that lift can be moved to
MAX_LIFT_HEIGHT	The largest height-above-ground that lift can be moved to

Classes

BehaviorComponent(robot)	Run behaviors on Vector
ReserveBehaviorControl([serial, ip, config, ...])	A ReserveBehaviorControl object can be used to suppress the ordinary idle behaviors of the Robot and keep Vector still between SDK control instances.
