Package Summary
This stack contains a set of filters to work with joint trajectories. It also contains a trajectory filter server which is a ROS node that exposes a ROS service interface to a chain of filters.

The trajectory filters stack contains a bunch of packages that help with trajectory smoothing. All these packages currently act on polynomial splines. The packages included in this stack are:
spline_smoother - A library that implements a filter chain in addition to a bunch of spline smoothers. It includes methods that can take input in the form of a trajectory_msgs/JointTrajectory message and returns a parameterized spline that can be used for further sampling. The methods in this package can be used to impose joint velocity and acceleration limits.
constraint_aware_spline_smoother - This package is built on top of the spline_smoother package and allows you to create collision free splines that follow a given input trajectory. It can also handle path constraints of the same form that both move_arm and the motion_planner take in the form of a motion_planning_msgs/Constraints message.
trajectory_filter_server - A ROS node interface to the spline_smoother library. This spawns a node that implements a service that takes a JointTrajectory as input and outputs a filtered joint trajectory.
joint_normalization_filters - This set of filters deal with continuous joints and either wrap or unwrap them to the correct values.
