Revision history [back]

MoveGroupInterface is generally easier if you know ROS already, and there is more documentation as it's been around longer.

moveitcpp might require more experience in C++ but gives you more control over moveit processes. I'd recommend it if you need to do 'realtime' applications (catching a ball, contact tasks) or want more control over memory (limited hardware).

The company that maintains MoveIt is actively improving moveitcpp, so more documentation will emerge over time :)

Thanks to @v4hn and Cunningham's Law :)
