Modified Python controllers for Rethink Baxter allowing for position or torque-based control

  • Controllers modified to accomodate the ARC Lab Baxter's different joint limits.
  • Simultaneous limb control was also implemented as the originals could only control one limb at a time.
  • Finally, torque-based control was implemented with the Baxter robot
    • This allowed for the sending of specific joint-torques which was crucial in most of the ARC Lab experiments
    • Torque control allowed for less loss of fidelity compared to position based control
  • Velocity based control was implemented but eventually scrapped due to the violent motions which would occur.
