[ros-users] Control PR2 to grasp objects

[Yun Jiang]

Hi Stu,
Thanks for your suggestions!
If I want to use planner to control the movement, then I should first send
the goal and get the two planned trajectories back, and then set the
timestamp by myself, and last send these two trajectories to
r_arm_controller and l_arm_controller, right? Or do I have other choices?
Thanks.

Best,
Yun
can't set timestamp
