How do I run a MoveIt script on an actual Franka Emika Panda

Hello everyone,

I am a new ROS user. I am using ROS Melodic with Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS and I am using the MoveIt Move Group Python Interface to program a Franka Emika Panda. I followed the MoveIt tutorial and created a script that picks up cubes and places them in RViz. I am ready to run the script on the actual robot in our lab, but I cannot figure out what I need to do to make this happen.

I cannot find any tutorials that show how to run a MoveIt script on the actual robot.

I use "roslaunch pandamoveitconfig demo.launch" to visualize the Panda in RViz. This is a launch file provided by MoveIt for demo purposes. If I want to visualize the actual Panda I assume I use one of the launch files provided by Franka Emika instead or make my own?

I don't know what else I need to do to run the script on the robot. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
