Description

A floating hand agent that can be controlled by applying torques to joints and moved around in three dimensions.

Control Schemes

  • Raw Joint Torques (0)

    23 length vector of raw torques to pass into the joints, in the order listed beow in HandAgent Joints

  • Scaled Joint Torques (1)

    23 length vector of scaled torques, between -1 and 1. The strength finger each joint is scaled depending on the weight of the bone and if it is a finger or not. 1 represents the maximum power in the forward direction

  • Scaled Joint Torques + Floating (2)

    Same as above, but the vector is of length 26, with the last three values representing the amount of movement in the [x, y, z] directions (see Coordinate System), with a maximum of 0.5 meters of freedom.

    The last coordinates allow the HandAgent to float around.

HandAgent Joints

The control scheme for the HandAgent and the JointRotationSensor use a 94 length vector refer to 48 joints.

To gain insight into these joints, refer to the table below.

Note

Note that the index given is the start index for the joint, see the section header for how many values after this index each joint has.

Example: hand_r starts at index 0, and has [swing1, swing2, twist], so index 0 in the vector corresponds to swing1, 1 corresponds to swing2, and 2 corresponds to twist for hand_r

Returned in the following order:

Arm joints

Each has [swing1, swing2, twist]

   
0 hand_r

First joint of each finger

Has only [swing1, swing2]

64 thumb_01_r
66 index_01_r
68 middle_01_r
70 ring_01_r
72 pinky_01_r

Second joint of each finger

Has only [swing1]

79 thumb_02_r
80 index_02_r
81 middle_02_r
82 ring_02_r
83 pinky_02_r

Third joint of each finger

Has only [swing1]

89 thumb_03_r
90 index_03_r
91 middle_03_r
92 ring_03_r
93 pinky_03_r

HandAgent Bones

The RelativeSkeletalPositionSensor returns an array with four entries for each of the 17 bones listed below.

Index Bone Name
0 lowerarm_r
4 hand_r
8 index_01_r
12 index_02_r
16 index_03_r
20 middle_01_r
24 middle_02_r
28 middle_03_r
32 pinky_01_r
36 pinky_02_r
40 pinky_03_r
44 ring_01_r
48 ring_02_r
52 ring_03_r
56 thumb_01_r
60 thumb_02_r
64 thumb_03_r

Sockets

  • CameraSocket located behind and above the wrist
  • Viewport located looking at the agent from the side
  • All of the joints may be used as sockets. See HandAgent Joints
