Revision history [back]

The latest source version of the UR5 (groovy and hydro) has moveit support. It can be found here.

This package is not set up by default to communicate with the hardware. This can be added by following this tutorial.

NOTE: The UR driver supports the joint trajectory action directly, so the steps in section 4.1 Required Topics/Services are a little different. You will still need to create a launch file that launches the UR driver node (with the appropriate IP address).

EDIT

Apparently the correct launch file already exists in the latest versions. Simply run:

roslaunch ur5_moveit_config moveit_planning_execution.launch sim:=false robot_ip:=IP_OF_THE_ROBOT
