Robotics at Compile Time: Optimizing Robotics Algorithms With C++'s Compile-Time Features - CppCon23

C++'s compile-time features can optimize robotics algorithms for more predictable and efficient code. Learn how template metaprogramming, Eigen libary, and more can improve performance and reduce runtime errors.

Key takeaways

C++’s compile-time features can be used to optimize robotics algorithms, allowing for more predictable and efficient code.
Template metaprogramming can be used to generate code that is specific to a particular robot or joint, reducing the need for runtime decisions.
The std::conditional type alias can be used to create a type that returns a fixed value if a condition is true.
The Eigen library can be used to represent geometric transformations, such as rotations and translations.
Compile-time evaluation of conditions can be used to avoid runtime errors and improve performance.
The fold expression can be used to combine values of different types, such as integers and strings.
The index_sequence type can be used to create a sequence of values, such as a tuple of indices.
The std::variant type can be used to represent a value that can be one of several different types.
The constexpr keyword can be used to evaluate an expression at compile-time.
The if constexpr statement can be used to evaluate a condition at compile-time and choose a different branch of code to execute.
The std::clamp function can be used to clamp a value to a specified range.
The std::clamp function can be used to clamp a value to a specified range.
