"loadRobotGraspData" code in "simple pick place"

[ltaoist]

As infer in issues #6 ...

The clam_grasp_data.yaml file may not be right, it need some fix ...

[davetcoleman]

I think this needs to go inside the tags?

[davetcoleman]

I will merge and test, then maybe fix.

[davetcoleman]

Thanks!

Dave, thanks for the code updates.

Here is an update on what I am doing.

Trying to get block_pick_place.cpp to work.

• I have created a roslaunch file for it in which I use rosparam to load parameters according to moveit_simple_grasps/moveit_blocks.h :

planning_group_name: 'arm'
ee_group_name: 'gripper_group'

At first I could not read these parameters, I had to remove the initialization of nh("~") to a private name. I am still not so familiar with these differences, but it worked well when I removed it:

// did not initialize nh to nh("~")
nh_.getParam("ee_group_name", ee_group_name_);
nh_.getParam("planning_group_name", planning_group_name_);

When I roslaunched again, it said I had not added base_link to the param server. So I added it. The error screen is shown below for reference:

>>$ roslaunch clam_pick_place block_pick_place.launch

After getting the base_link param in moveit_simple_grasps/moveit_blocks.h, I got a couple of errors related to not being able to read kinematics.yaml files. I saw that this yaml file was already loaded in moveit_rviz, but for some reason is not being read properly. So I added it to my current launch file and fixed it. Error screen below for reference:

[ERROR] [1403277250.570284338]: The ClamArm gripper controller expects a joint trajectory with one point only, but 2 provided)
[ERROR] [1403277250.570393245]: Failed to send trajectory part 1 of 1 to controller clam_gripper_controller

And in the block_pick_place screen I got:

This is the final stage and might need some help here, the grasps were generated, but the controller failed during execution:

It seems its's failing at: return move_group_->pick(block_name, possible_grasps)

[davetcoleman]

I already created a roslaunch file for this executable, did you not see it?
