ActiveCameraRobot

Bases: BaseRobot

Robot that is is equipped with an onboard camera that can be moved independently from the robot's other kinematic joints (e.g.: independent of base and arm for a mobile manipulator).

controller_config should, at the minimum, contain:

camera: controller specifications for the controller to control this robot's camera. Should include:

- name: Controller to create
- <other kwargs> relevant to the controller being created. Note that all values will have default
    values specified, but setting these individual kwargs will override them
