[ros-users] move_arm, motion_planner, mechanism_controllers, ... lost :S

[Antons Rebguns]

Ugo,

Have you looked at this tutorial:

http://www.ros.org/wiki/arm_navigation/Tutorials/Running%20arm%20navigation%20on%20non-PR2%20arm

I outlined the steps I took to make my arm work with ROS motion
planning pipeline.
