Add frame and frameName options to forceTorqueSensors #44

Closed traversaro closed 3 years ago

traversaro commented 3 years ago

The forceTorqueSensors option in the YAML file permits to export the FT sensor information in two ways:

In both those cases, however some parameters that describe the sensor are hardcoded:

Due to the specific needs of generation of the new iCub3 model, it could make sense to expose these parameters. In particular, this would permit to have all the frame of a given limb to be all parallel in the 0 configuration, without the need to have a single link (the child link of the FT sensor) to have a different orientation to match the one of the sensor.
