Moveit returns Pose in "base_link" instead of "base" frame
Hi,
as can be seen in the following screenshot: Altough I set pose reference frame to "base", I receive poses relative to the "base_link" frame. Does anybody has a hint to me, how to solve that?
Thanks in advance!
Here's a link to my screenshot (as I unfortunately didn't get the right yet to add a picture to this question): https://drive.google.com/file/d/13wl5oV-7KqgyZIyQp8JcEPTpcbjCCHcA/view

Somewhere in the moveit config for your robot, they will define "planning groups" i.e. a contiguous set of links. MoveGroup is probably choosing the first link of the group as the planning frame, so maybe you can edit it there.
That said, I can't think of a good reason you'd want to do this. tf2_ros
makes it easy to transform a pose to or from any frame you need.

Thank you very much for the answer! Honestly I've hoped, that there would be an easier solution, than installing a new packet and starting a new node, just to get the pose in the standard frame. Does anybody has an idea, what's the purpose of the function "move_group.set_pose_reference_frame()", as the pose is still relative to a different frame?

I believe the problem this is solving is that move_group.set_pose_target(pose)
takes a geometry_msgs/Pose
as an argument, but that message does not have a frame_id
. I assume set_pose_reference_frame()
was added by the developers in an attempt to not break existing code at the time.

I'm not sure, if the screenshot was public available, but now it should be!
