Spatial Math for ROS.
Intergration library between [`rospy`](http://wiki.ros.org/rospy) and [`spatialmath-python`](https://pypi.org/project/spatialmath-python/).
Currently this lib just contains conversion functionality.
Expect the conversion modules to work in any ROS1 version.

## Install

```bash
pip install spatialmath-rospy
```

## Documentation
[ReadTheDocs](https://spatialmath-rospy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

## Usage

### Extended Classes [Recommended]

```python
# These classes extend their spatialmath-python counterparts
# to provide ROS functionality
from spatialmath_rospy import SE3, SO3, UnitQuaternion

pose_msg = SE3(1, 2, 3).to_ros()
print(type(pose_msg), '\n', pose_msg)
"""

position:
x: 1.0
y: 2.0
z: 3.0
orientation:
x: 0.0
y: 0.0
z: 0.0
w: 1.0
"""

se3: SE3 = SE3.from_ros(pose_msg)
print(se3)
"""
1 0 0 1
0 1 0 2
0 0 1 3
0 0 0 1
"""
```

### Conversion Functions

For those who prefer a functional style or don't want to use the extended classes

```python
import spatialmath as sm
from spatialmath_rospy import to_spatialmath, to_ros

pose_msg = to_ros(sm.SE3(1, 2, 3))
se3: sm.SE3 = to_spatialmath(pose_msg)
```

### Monkey Patching

[Not Recommended]

You may prefer to use this option if wanting to add the `.from_ros()` and `.to_ros()` methods to the original `SE3`, `SO3` and `UnitQuaternion` classes via a monkey-patch. This may be useful for integrating legacy code. Not recommended as static type analysis tools like PyLance will not work.

```python
import spatialmath as sm
from spatialmath_rospy import monkey_patch_spatialmath

# Invoke this at any point before calling conversion functions
monkey_patch_spatialmath()

pose_msg = sm.SE3(1, 2, 3).to_ros()
```

## ROS `Transform` Messages

The `to_ros()` function returns a `Pose` msg by default.

A `Transform` msg can be returned instead with `to_ros(as_tf=True)`.

```python
from spatialmath_rospy import SE3

tf_msg = SE3(1, 2, 3).to_ros(as_tf=True)
print(type(tf_msg), '\n', tf_msg)
"""

translation:
x: 1.0
y: 2.0
z: 3.0
rotation:
x: 0.0
y: 0.0
z: 0.0
w: 1.0
"""
```

## ROS `Quaternion` Messages

`Quaternion` msgs convert to `UnitQuaternion` objects and vice versa:

```python
from spatialmath_rospy import UnitQuaternion

quat_msg = UnitQuaternion(1, [0, 0, 0]).to_ros()
print(type(quat_msg), '\n', quat_msg)
"""

x: 0.0
y: 0.0
z: 0.0
w: 1.0
"""
unit_quat = UnitQuaternion.from_ros(quat_msg)
print(unit_quat)
" 1.0000 << 0.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000 >>
```

`UnitQuaternion` can also be converted to a `Transform` msg with `to_ros(as_tf=True)`:

```python
from spatialmath_rospy import UnitQuaternion, SE3

quat = UnitQuaternion(1, [0, 0, 0])

tf_msg = quat.to_ros(as_tf=True)
print(tf_msg)
"""
translation:
x: 0
y: 0
z: 0
rotation:
x: 0.0
y: 0.0
z: 0.0
w: 1.0
"""
```

This `Transform` will have always zero translation.

## ROS Stamped messages

Just pass a `std_msgs.msg.Header` in to `to_ros()` to construct stamped objects:

```python
from std_msgs.msg import Header
from spatialmath_rospy import SE3

pose_stamped_msg = SE3(1, 2, 3).to_ros(
Header(frame_id="world")
)
print(type(pose_stamped_msg), '\n', pose_stamped_msg)
"""

header:
seq: 0
stamp:
secs: 0
nsecs: 0
frame_id: "world"
pose:
position:
x: 1.0
y: 2.0
z: 3.0
orientation:
x: 0.0
y: 0.0
z: 0.0
w: 1.0
"""
```

This works for all supported ros msg types:

- `Pose` / `PoseStamped`

- `Transform` / `TransformStamped`

- `Quaternion` / `QuaternionStamped`
