[IRobotManager.hpp] Think about more than mobile robots #10

[IRobotManager.hpp] Think about more than mobile robots.

Note that current interface was inspired on shooter WASD + mouse-like movements.

But perhaps we want a more generic interface, such as the long-term proposal of https://github.com/roboticslab-uc3m/kinematics-dynamics/issues/148.

I am tempted to replicate here the keyboardController app, currently a ICartesianControl client, in order to provide a means to control a robot/drone via the IRobotManager interface with a simple keyboard. By using a unique interface for manipulators and mobile robots, duplication would be avoided.

Anyway, I may create our own keyboardController here and give a try to some ideas laid out at https://github.com/robotology/QA/issues/289, then export (or migrate) to kinematics-dynamics.

Closing this because it makes no sense. In any case:

  1. IRobotManager was always too broad. If we ever ended up with more kinds of robots, it should be decoupled (e.g. current IRobotManager become IMobileRobotManager or even I2DMobileRobotManager.
  2. Next, we'd have input interfaces.
  3. Best case, we'd have an independent mechanism that implements a (configurable) mapping ("glue") from (2) to (1).
