MOVEIT+GAZEBO: joint_states namespace and move_group problem

moveit+joint_states

Hi all, I'm trying to configure moveit + gazebo, so far I managed to configure the setup assistant for a new robot as the tutorial shows. My problem is that move_group node listen to "/joint_states" and the GAZEBO publish i with a namespace i.e /robot/joint_states. (I figured it out by following the kinematics tutorial so as by typing "rostopic list -v").

So, my question is how do I configure move_group to listen to /robot/joint_states.

My github repository: https://github.com/nirlevi5/robo-serv... Attached an Example rqt_graph photo.

Thanks Nir

A simple solution is add a remap entry on move_group.launch

<node name="move_group" ...
...
<remap from="/joint_states" to="/your_robot/joint_states" />
</node>

Great, It works now. Now the Rviz plans based on the gazebo model configuration. But still, when I'm following the kinematics tutorial I get joint values equals to zero, I thought it should take it from the /myrobot/joint_states topic?
