description: "\n    <p>\t\n\tThis package contains a base class for an Actuator Array\
  \ Driver. This is intended for use with chains of R/C Servos or other\n\tsimilar\
  \ devices where position (and velocity) commands are sent at irregular intervals,\
  \ as opposed to the tight, real-time\n\tcontrol loop of the <a href=\"http://www.ros.org/wiki/pr2_controller_manager\"\
  >PR2 Controller Manager</a> system. \n    </p>\n    <p>\n    This base class performs\
  \ some standard functionality, such as parsing joint limits out of the robot_description,\
  \ subscribing to \n    a 'command' topic, publishing on the 'joint_states' topic,\
  \ and setting up a 'stop' and 'home' service call. This is designed to \n    work\
  \ as a stand-alone driver for controlling/tele-operating a chain of servos, or in\
  \ conjunction with the \n    <a href=\"http://www.ros.org/wiki/actuator_array_joint_trajectory_action\"\
  >Actuator Array Joint Trajectory Action</a>. However, this is \n    provided as\
  \ a convenience only, and is not required for successful operation with the Actuator\
  \ Array Joint Trajectory Action.\n    </p>\n  "
