Actionlib functions

SimpleActionClient(name::String, action_spec, spin::Bool)

Simple constructor.

SimpleActionClient(name::String, action_spec)

Simple constructor.

SimpleActionServer(name::String, action_spec, auto_start::Bool)

Constructor for a SimpleActionServer.

SimpleActionServer(name::String, action_spec)

Constructor for a SimpleActionServer.

acceptNewGoal(action_server)

Accepts a new goal when one is available. The status of this goal is set to active upon acceptance, and the status of any previously active goal is set to preempted. Preempts received for the new goal between checking if isNewGoalAvailable or invocation of a goal callback and the acceptNewGoal call will not trigger a preempt callback. This means, isPreemptRequested should be called after accepting the goal even for callback-based implementations to make sure the new goal does not have a pending preempt request.

cancelAllGoals(action_client)

Cancel all goals currently running on the action server.

cancelGoal(action_client)

Cancel the goal that we are currently pursuing.

getResult(action_client)

Get the Result of the current goal.

getState(action_client)

Get the state information for this goal.

getText(state)

Returns the text field of the state.

isActive(action_server)

Allows polling implementations to query about the status of the current goal.

publishFeedback(action_server, feedback)

registerGoalCallback(action_server, callback)

Allows users to register a callback to be invoked when a new goal is available.

registerPreemptCallback(action_server, callback)

Allows users to register a callback to be invoked when a new preempt request is available.

sendGoal(action_client, goal)

Sends a goal to the ActionServer, and also registers callbacks.

sendGoalAndWait(action_client, goal, ex_timeout, pr_timeout)
