Hi All
With the move_arm tutorials, I am always getting warnings that the current position violates the goal constraints, which is pretty obvious, but it often also misses a success message, or more frequently actually errors once it has reached the goal (in each of the four functions) with 'trajectory controller reports error'. Does this happen to everyone or should I check my system for missing things?
I have seen similar behavior as well on a PR2 simulation (as per the tutorials), the more common error being that the robot performs a motion that appears successful from visual inspection, but then waits in the goal configuration until it times out. I've also seen the warnings that the current position violates the goal constraints, but not on the PR2, but on one of our robots (so the error may be on my side and not on the ROS side).
I'm still getting to grips with the internals of the arm_navigation stack (and making it work with our robots), and I wasn't going to post on the list until I had a more concise description of the problems I'm seeing, but now that you bring this up, I can confirm some of your issues.
I'll get back to the list if I find out something meaningful.
Best,

I am using the C++ versions.
Also, in an effort to find out what was going wrong, I tried using the CHOMP planner, which I still have not managed to make function at all for planning...
Thanks in advance

Thanks Sachin.
In case other people are also interested in using move_arm from
python, my python equivalent for the MoveArmPoseGoalComplex
tutorial is at -
http://code.google.com/p/gt-ros-pkg/source/browse/trunk/hrl/hrl_simple_arm_goals/src/hrl_simple_arm_goals/move_arm_pose_goal.py
It does the same thing as the C++ tutorial (in simulation).
