Possibility of moving the ur10 universal robot with respect to the action goals being updated in its ROS topic "/follow_joint_trajectory/goal"?

edit

Dear ROS developers & users,

Let me formulate my situation.

Aim :: To move the ur10 universal robot with respect to the updated action goals which are being published to its corresponding ROS topic "/follow_joint_trajectory/goal"

Things performed ::

• Played around with the tutorials provided in the ros-industrial package of universal robot using the website link ( http://wiki.ros.org/universal_robot/T... )

• Checked which particular ROS topic should I have to publish a new joint-space goal. The ROS topic was found to be "/follow_joint_trajectory/goal". Type of this ROS topic is "control_msgs/FollowJointTrajectoryActionGoal". Also, i had a look at the message sturcture of "control_msgs/FollowJointTrajectoryActionGoal" using the website link ( http://docs.ros.org/fuerte/api/contro... )

For the sake of completeness, the complete message structure of "control_msgs/FollowJointTrajectoryActionGoal" looks in the following manner.

ros@rosPC:~$ rosmsg show control_msgs/FollowJointTrajectoryActionGoal

std_msgs/Header header

uint32 seq

time stamp

string frame_id

actionlib_msgs/GoalID goal_id

time stamp

string id

control_msgs/FollowJointTrajectoryGoal goal

trajectory_msgs/JointTrajectory trajectory

std_msgs/Header header
   uint32 seq
   time stamp
   string frame_id

string[] joint_names

trajectory_msgs/JointTrajectoryPoint[] points
  float64[] positions
  float64[] velocities
  float64[] accelerations
  float64[] effort
  duration time_from_start

control_msgs/JointTolerance[] path_tolerance

 string name
 float64 position
 float64 velocity
 float64 acceleration

control_msgs/JointTolerance[] goal_tolerance

 string name
 float64 position
 float64 velocity
 float64 acceleration

duration goal_time_tolerance

• To be precise, I neglected the following parts of the above mentioned message while publishing the action goals to the ROS topic "follow_joint_trajectory/goal".

Field --- Object => Class (My interpretation of the message structure)

std_msgs/Header header => control_msgs/FollowJointTrajectoryActionGoal

time stamp ---- actionlib_msgs/GoalID goal_id => control_msgs/FollowJointTrajectoryActionGoal

std_msgs/Header header => trajectory_msgs/JointTrajectory trajectory

duration time_from_start ---- trajectory_msgs/JointTrajectoryPoint[] points => trajectory_msgs/JointTrajectory trajectory

duration goal_time_tolerance => control_msgs/FollowJointTrajectoryActionGoal

• So far, the ROS topic "/follow_joint_trajectory/goal" is clearly published with the action goals

Typical action goal published to the ROS topic "/follow_joint_trajectory/goal" and the message looks in the following way.

ros@rosPC:~$ rostopic echo /follow_joint_trajectory/goal

Result :: Even though the action goals are published on the desired ROS topic (i.e., "/follow_joint_trajectory/goal"), ur10 robot doesn't move at all

Conclusion drawn from the result :: May be I have to fill the neglected parts ... (more)
