I am trying to run the pr2_pick_and_place_demo on our PR2 (running diamondback). Most of the time I can get it to locate the object, grab it, and lift its arm, but then it stops. The error it throws is a "tuple index out of range" error. In the manipulation stack it throws the IK error code NO_IK_SOLUTION. Has anyone experienced this problem? Does anyone have a good solution?

The NO_IK_SOLUTION means that the IK received a manipulator pose for which there is no joints configuration (or it can't be found). You should try a different place position (which I don't think can be done with the demo).

The IndexError is probably a bug, as it means that there is no check that IK returned no solution, and it tries to access an element of an empty vector. This problem is trivial to solve (a try...except, or a if len(solution) != 0) will suffice, but I have never encountered it before.

Can you try electric and see if anything changes? Manipulation has improved a lot in the new version.
