Revision history [back]

Unfortunately the API in arm_navigation does not offer the means to compute distance. The collision checker used (ODE) does not offer this information. So unfortunately, there is no way to perform this computation easily. The replacement for arm_navigation (MoveIt) does include this computation. Depending on the timeline for your project, you may want to switch to using MoveIt. We plan to release with groovy, but things are still under heavy development.
