HI I am working with the drc robot, it comes with PID controller on each of the joints. The parameters of each PID are all in a yaml format file. I would want to change some of those parameters while those controllers are running. How should I do it? Thanks all. Nachum

YAML configurations are uploaded on the parameter server and you can change them using rosparam set <parameter name> <value> from the command line. roscpp and rospy also provide methods to change the values of parameters. However, just changing PID parameters will not have any effect unless you restart the corresponding controller. I don't know how the controller architecture on your robot looks like, so I cannot provide any information on how to achieve that.

For DRC specific questions I suggest you use the DRC forums.

Lorenz - does it mean that when I do it my robot will be without controllers for a moment?

Since I do not know your platform, all I can say is that it depends on the implementation o your controller framework. On the PR2 for instance, controller switching is possible almost without a delay.
