roslaunch jaco_on_table jaco_on_table_gazebo_controlled.launch miss use or malfunction about jaco-arm-pkgs HOT 15 CLOSED

The colour was a problem I actually encountered before. Unfortunately "wildcards" don't work for <gazebo> tags, at least not in newer versions...

I've changed it to contain the materials for the links explicitly. So if you also pull a new version of this repo now, it should (hopefully) all work.

Let me know if not, or if you run into any other issues.

Ho wow, this is really quick! I'll check this out tomorrow (in about 10 hours) when I'm able to access my computer.

Hi,

thanks for reporting this. I haven't tried this code with kinetic yet, but I was going to do this in the next few days, or latest next week. I will have to test and apply the fix in the joint controller as well, which has been hanging around for a while. I'm just pretty busy so didn't get around to it yet... I can look into your issue when I finally do it in the next days as well.

So the collapsing of the robot happens both in Jade and in Kinetic? And which version of Gazebo are you using - the same in both Jade and Kinetic?

The colour issue could mean that the material ("black", I think) is not found. Again, this could be related to that you are using a different Gazebo version. I will try to test it with the same version you have.

Cheers

Thank you for the (very quick) answer!

I use gazebo 7 on kinetic and gazebo 5 on jade.

The collapsing happens on both setups. The colors are different on either gazebo 5 or 7 (respectively white and black).

I forgot to mention that I also had to set -std=c++11 in order to compile the project on Kinetic (ubuntu 16.04), while I didn't do it on Jade (ubuntu 14.04).

Once again, thank you for your help!

Hi Philippe,

Ok, thanks for the info. I will let you know here as soon as I have started looking into it.

I've applied some changes to fix the issue with _modelJointController (which you probably got from joint-control-pkgs issue #2), in the repository joint_control_pkgs. Your plugin probably crashed because you may have forgotten to check (_modelJointController!=nullptr) later when it is used?

Anyway, as I described in the other issue, this was not the correct solution. Can you pull joint-control-pkgs again, recompile and see if you still have the issue now?

I'm onto the colour issue next, I'm getting the same problem.

Hi, Jennifer I start to work with the jaco-gazebo simulation on kinetic since last week. I think I meet the same problem. My gazebo version is 7.

from jaco-arm-pkgs.

Did you pull the newest version? It should be fixed now.

from jaco-arm-pkgs.

The newest version works! But on my system I should manually set the GAZEBO_PLUGIN_PATH to ~/catkin_ws/devel/lib to let gazebo know where to find the plugin. Thank you Jenny!

from jaco-arm-pkgs.

Great that it works... strange about the plugin path, I've never had to do this, but it makes sense... Anyway, good that it works!

from jaco-arm-pkgs.

@wonwon0 Does it work now for you as well, with the updated version of joint-control-pkgs? If yes, you may close the issue :)

from jaco-arm-pkgs.

I'm testing it right now, colors are good but the arm is still collapsed. Maybe it's an error on my side. I haven't tested it yet on jade, only kinetic.

EDIT: I tried to make it run, but i failed. Could it be because I'm running Kinetic on a Vm?

from jaco-arm-pkgs.

Hmmm weird that it collapses, I'm using Kinetic too and it works.

Can you send me the command line output please?

I never tried to run ROS/Gazebo on VMs, have you had other issues with it?

from jaco-arm-pkgs.

Allright! I made it run on a conventionnal ubuntu 16.04 install (not a VM). Every thing is fine. Really nice!

I havent been able to circle out the cause of the bug on my vm install.

I'll close this issue and open an other one if i can't manage to figure it out by myself.

In either case, I'll keep you updated and, if you want and I manage to install it on my vm, write a small tutorial to install it if the solution to do so is a little funky.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Great! Thanks for letting me know. Sure, if you manage to get it running in a VM, I'd be interested which changes are required to make it work :) And tutorials are always great.
