Goal
Users can plan robot end-effector motion with Moveit and execute that with Cartesian compliance in contact.
Approach
Moveit's output is a
FollowJointTrajectoryGoal
that best integrates with thejoint_trajectory_controller
. The cartesian_controllers repository already provides aJointControllerAdapter
that allows to connect such ajoint_trajectory_controller
and turn the joint-based trajectory into Cartesian targets via robot forward kinematics. For motion that is sufficiently away from robot singularities, this could provide a suitable approach combine motion planning with compliance.Steps
