Revision history [back]

In short: you'll want to create a top-level .launch file that starts all the required nodes.

The tutorial you linked (Create a MoveIt Package for an Industrial Robot) should show you how to perform all the steps, including creating the top-level moveit_planning_execution.launch.

It's probably easiest to base one for your 2600 on another that already exists, such as this one for an IRB 6640.

Important parts:

<rosparam command="load" file="$(find abb_irb6640_support)/config/joint_names_irb6640_185_280.yaml" />

make sure to load the joint_names, otherwise the driver can't map data to your ROS joints.

and:

<group if="$(arg sim)">
  <include file="$(find industrial_robot_simulator)/launch/robot_interface_simulator.launch" />
</group>

<group unless="$(arg sim)">
  <include file="$(find abb_irb6640_support)/launch/robot_interface_download_irb6640_185_280.launch" >
    <arg name="robot_ip" value="$(arg robot_ip)"/>
  </include>
</group>

load either the real driver of the industrial_robot_simulator. The simulator is of course optional, but is always a good idea to check whether you've correctly configured everything.

This top-level .launch file is only one part that you'd need to add (but again: the tutorial should show you how to do that). Other things that need to be added:

• a list of controllers that MoveIt should use (typically called controllers.yaml in the config folder (here for the IRB 6640))
• updating the ROBOTNAME_moveit_controller_manager.launch.xml to actually load the controllers.yaml file
• adding the appropriate (exec_) dependencies on industrial_robot_simulator and the abb_irb2600_support package to your package manifest

In short: you'll want to create a top-level .launch file that starts all the required nodes.
