Hi Matei,<br><br>Basically what I did is<br><br>checked out all the following stacks<br><br>slipgrip_controller,<br>object_manipulation,<br>sql_database,<br>pr2_object_manipulation,<br>tabletop_object_perception,<br>pr2_tabletop_manipulation_apps<br>
pr2_gripper_fingersensor_action<br><br>I did not use rosinstall. All of the stacks above are overlayed on the other stacks.<br><br>Was there anything not correct in the installation?<br><br><br>PS:<br><br>And this brings me to thinking of another similar problem we met here running the ICRA manipulation pipeline code.<br>
<br>When
the robot is trying to grasp an object, it goes to its pre-grasp
successfully. But SOMETIMES, at that point, it stops and waits for
some action client. Sometimes, it continues to the final grasp pose
and executes the grasp. Following is the action client it is waiting
for.<br>
<br> [ INFO] [1279059104.753304766]: Waiting for action client: r_arm_controller/joint_trajectory_action<br><br>Also, we checked the rostopic and we found this action.<br><br>I am not sure whether these two situations are very related or not.<br>

Hi Hao,<br>
<br>
Are you using the overlay file (manipulation stacks from trunk) or<br>
just the cturtle install (manipulation stacks at version 0.1)?<br>
