Arm Simulator Tutorial

Nick Walker edited this page Mar 19, 2018 · 1 revision

Launch

Launch the simulator with

roslaunch bwi_launch simulation_v2.arm.launch

The arm will be rotated 90 degrees from how it appears on the actual robot. We don't know that this is a problem, as it seems to function as Kinova bills otherwise.

Usage

Only trajectory execution is available with the simulator. This means that cartesian or pose velocity control will be unavailable.

To see how to use the trajectory executor, refer to kinova_control/src/move_robot.py. To see the robot move, modify the kinova_control example, providing different values for the moveJoint command near line 73. Then run with

rosrun kinova_control move_robot.py m1n6s200
