Hi Andreas,
Since the PR2 accepts force/torque commands, the Gazebo simulation of
the PR2 also accepts only force/torque commands. The pid part of the
yaml configuration is our preferred way of specifying PID gains to the
controller. It is up to the controller to parse the pid parameters
and to make use of them in its update loop, but it can rely on other
objects for assistance (in most cases, the Pid class in
control_toolbox:
http://www.ros.org/doc/api/control_toolbox/html/classcontrol__toolbox_1_1Pid.html
).
For a simple example of how to use PID feedback to command positions,
see the JointPositionController:
http://code.ros.org/svn/wg-ros-pkg/stacks/pr2_controllers/tags/pr2_controllers-1.0.2/robot_mechanism_controllers/include/robot_mechanism_controllers/joint_position_controller.h
http://code.ros.org/svn/wg-ros-pkg/stacks/pr2_controllers/tags/pr2_controllers-1.0.2/robot_mechanism_controllers/src/joint_position_controller.cpp
Regards,
-Stu
