Detailed Description

An object to help coordinate read-write accesses to various shared objects within the Robolocust controller.

This class implements a reader-writer lock meant to be shared by the Robolocust controller's main thread and each of its behaviours. The main thread is responsible for updating the different sensors (laser range finder, cameras, etc.) and other objects (LGMD models, integration algorithm, etc.). The individual behaviours simply retrieve the latest values from these objects.

Each thread must take care of using this lock appropriately when required. That is, the objects themselves do not perform any locking (in other words, they are not thread-safe).
