Revision history [back]

It is easier if you input a roll pitch yaw and convert that into a quaternion. The tf.transformations library has the function quaternion_from_euler that does just that.

Being able to input just a position, without an orientation requires a special kind of inverse kinematics solver, I'm not sure what kind they're using so I'm not sure if it's (easily) possible.
