Robot control with the keyboard

Control robot actuators with keyboard keys. This is done by:

• Setting up a parent en child process with a pipe connection inbetween

• Setup and start main process with parent_connection as argument

• Setup Responder object with child_connection as argument

• Start Responder with parent process as argument

In the main loop an request for action should be made followed by waiting for a response as such:

parent_conn.send({"request_action": True})
keyboard_data = parent_conn.recv()
action = keyboard_data["action"]

Additionally custom key bindings and a default action can and passed as arguement to the responder. An example can be found in urdfenvs/examples/keyboard_input.py.
