Re: [Playerstage-users] player_pose3d in player_position2d_geom, deliberate or mistake?

[Toby C. <tco...@pl...>]

This is intentional, even though an object can only move in 2 dimensions, it
still has a 3 dimensional presence. Take the classic example of the pioneer
robot, it can only move on a 2d plane, but still has height. This is even
more relevant for things like 2d laser scanners since they can be mounted
with any 3d orientation. All information about physical geometry in playe
ris now reported with pose3d.
