Revision history [back]

For now, I finished with a solution that moves the link I want to disable from collision check 999.0 meters from the robot :) I know it is not very elegant but works exactly as I wanted. It is also really easy to implement. All I needed was a prismatic joint with 0-999 range and a node that constantly publishes JointState message for this "dummy" joint - 0 or 999.
