Hi Ugo,
To see what the current state of the environment server is you have to run
an another program in the planning environment package. Here's the contents
of the launch file in
planning_environment/launch/display_planner_collision_model.launch:
<launch>
<node pkg="planning_environment"
name="display_planner_collision_model_environment_server"
type="display_planner_collision_model" respawn="false" output="screen">
<param name="skip_collision_map" type="bool" value="false" />
<param name="prefix" type="string" value="/environment_server" />
</node>
</launch>
This node calls services in the environment_server and broadcasts markers
with the objects. You should see a marker topic after you launch this, and
a collision map topic showing the state of the collision map the environment
server uses.
Are you sure you are processing the kinect data through the appropriate set
of self filters? You need to be filtering the robot and the attached objects
out of the point cloud in order for the grasping pipeline to function. I'm
attaching a couple very experimental launch files that should process the
kinect data through the required pipeline to produce robot-free collision
maps.
Let me know how it goes.
-Gil
