rktl_autonomy.cartpole_direct_interface

Cartpole is a very simple environment included within OpenAI Gym. There is not much of a reason to use it, except for verifying the functionality of this library. Two different interfaces are provided, CartpoleInterface and CartpoleDirectInterface. The former uses the ROSInterface class and the latter directly owns the Gym environment. To verify the ROSInterface worked, it was confirmed that they both behave the same way.
