AirGenCar

Inherits from: Wheeled AirGen simulation car implementation. This class provides an interface to control simulated wheeled cars in AirGen using the CarClient from the pyairgen library.

​
Inherited methods

​
init

AirGenCar.__init__(ip: str = '127.0.0.1', port: int = 41471, timeout_value: int = 3600, vehicle_name: str = '')
Initialize a simulated AirGen car client.
​
Arguments
​
ip (str)
str
IP address of the AirGen server. (default: “127.0.0.1”)
​
port (int)
int
Port number for the AirGen server. (default: 41471)
​
timeout_value (int)
int
Timeout value for the connection in seconds. (default: 3600)
​
vehicle_name (str)
str
Name of the vehicle in the simulation. (default: "")

​
getState

AirGenCar.getState() -> dict
Get the current state of the car.
​
Returns
​
dict
dict
Current state including position, orientation, and velocity.

​
getPosition

AirGenCar.getPosition() -> Optional[Position]
Get the position of the car in the world frame.
​
Returns
​
Optional[Position]
Optional[Position]
Current position of the car in world coordinates.

​
getOrientation

AirGenCar.getOrientation() -> Optional[Orientation]
Get the orientation of the car in the world frame.
​
Returns
​
Optional[Orientation]
Optional[Orientation]
Current orientation as a quaternion (x, y, z, w).

​
getImage

AirGenCar.getImage(camera_name: str = 'front_center', image_type: str = 'rgb') -> Image
Get an image from the specified camera.
​
Arguments
​
camera_name (str)
str
Name of the camera in the AirGen scene. (default: “front_center”)
​
image_type (str)
str
Image type, one of (“rgb”|“depth”). (default: “rgb”)
​
Returns
​
Image
Image
Captured image wrapped in the project’s Image type.

​
moveByVelocity

AirGenCar.moveByVelocity(linear_velocity: Velocity, angular_velocity: Velocity, frame: str = 'body') -> None
Move the car with a velocity command. For cars, velocity control is limited. The linear_velocity.x_vel controls forward/backward speed, and angular_velocity.z_vel controls turning rate.
​
Arguments
​
linear_velocity (Velocity)
Velocity
required
Linear velocity in m/s (x_vel used for forward speed).
​
angular_velocity (Velocity)
Velocity
required
Angular velocity in rad/s (z_vel/yaw rate is used).
​
frame (str)
str
Reference frame for velocity (“body” only). (default: “body”)
​
Returns
​
returns
None

​
stop

AirGenCar.stop() -> None
Stop the car by zeroing target speed and controls.
​
Returns
​
returns
None

​
cleanup

AirGenCar.cleanup() -> None
Clean up resources and disable API control.
​
Returns
​
returns
None
