Using moveit_commander with husky_manipulation

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Hello everybody
My goal is to control robot with python using Moveit. Standard API for that is moveit_commander. As I understand husky_moveit_config does not support it by default (module is unknown).
I tried to install moveit_commander and get the following error when launching husky_moveit_config: moveit/moveit#1632
This was fixed after removing devel, build, and new package.
Can anyone provide any instruction of how to install moveit_commander on husky in a safe way?
(or good alternative for python api to move_it)

The husky_manipulation package isn't any different than any other arm setup. You would run the bringup launch file to start the driver, then run the moveit config to start moveit. Once that is running, rviz can show you what groups are available and you can control those with moveit_commander

Thank you for the answer (and sorry for the long silence). As I understood, my problem was the moveit_commander package is not installed, so now I am trying to install it.

upd: fixed. I don't know, what was the problem but now the package is installed normally.
