Classes

SLAM	SLAM represents a SLAM service.

class viam.services.slam.slam.SLAM(name: str)

Bases: viam.services.service_base.ServiceBase

SLAM represents a SLAM service.

This acts as an abstract base class for any drivers representing specific arm implementations. This cannot be used on its own. If the __init__() function is overridden, it must call the super().__init__() function.

SUBTYPE: Final

abstract async get_internal_state(*, timeout: Optional[float]) → List[bytes]

Get the internal state of the SLAM algorithm required to continue mapping/localization.

Returns:

Chunks of the internal state of the SLAM algorithm

Return type:

List[GetInternalStateResponse]

abstract async get_point_cloud_map(*, timeout: Optional[float]) → List[bytes]

Get the point cloud map.

Returns:

Complete pointcloud in standard PCD format. Chunks of the PointCloud, concatenating all

GetPointCloudMapResponse.point_cloud_pcd_chunk values

Return type:

List[GetPointCloudMapResponse]

abstract async get_latest_map_info(*, timeout: Optional[float]) → datetime.datetime

Get the timestamp of the last update to the point cloud SLAM map.

Returns:

The timestamp of the last update.

Return type:

datetime

abstract async get_position(*, timeout: Optional[float]) → viam.services.slam.Pose

Get current position of the specified component in the SLAM Map.

Returns:

The current position of the specified component

Return type:

Pose

classmethod from_robot(robot: viam.robot.client.RobotClient, name: str) → typing_extensions.Self

Get the service named name from the provided robot.

Parameters:

• robot (RobotClient) – The robot

• name (str) – The name of the service

Returns:

The service, if it exists on the robot

Return type:

Self

abstract async do_command(command: Mapping[str, viam.utils.ValueTypes], *, timeout: Optional[float] = None, **kwargs) → Mapping[str, viam.utils.ValueTypes]

Send/Receive arbitrary commands to the Resource

Parameters:

command (Mapping[str, ValueTypes]) – The command to execute

Raises:

NotImplementedError – Raised if the Resource does not support arbitrary commands

Returns:

Result of the executed command

Return type:

Mapping[str, ValueTypes]

classmethod get_resource_name(name: str) → viam.proto.common.ResourceName

Get the ResourceName for this Resource with the given name

Parameters:

name (str) – The name of the Resource

get_operation(kwargs: Mapping[str, Any]) → viam.operations.Operation

Get the Operation associated with the currently running function.

When writing custom resources, you should get the Operation by calling this function and check to see if it’s cancelled. If the Operation is cancelled, then you can perform any necessary (terminating long running tasks, cleaning up connections, etc. ).

Parameters:

kwargs (Mapping[str, Any]) – The kwargs object containing the operation

Returns:

The operation associated with this function

Return type:

viam.operations.Operation
