Hi,

Is there anyway to set the initial joint angles of the robot ? After reading a lot of pages and some packages of several robots, I have seen that it can be done by adding some args to the spawning node. However, I haven't been able to make it work for me. Right now, what I am doing is:

<node name="arm_base_spawn_urdf" pkg="gazebo_ros" type="spawn_model" args="-urdf -param robot_description -model schunk_lwa4p_and_base 
    -J schunk_lwa4p_and_base::J_foldingSupport 0.075 
    -J schunk_lwa4p_and_base::J1_PowerBall -1.5607 
    -J schunk_lwa4p_and_base::J2_PowerBall -0.3817"
    respawn="false" output="screen" />

The robot is a lwa4p mounted over a mobile platform. For doing that, I am using xacros, being the robot schunk_lwa4p_and_base the union of all the xacros.

I would really appreciate if you can help me. Thank you in advance,

JLuis Samper

Do you need that from config file? Or would just setting defaults in the URDF be sufficient?

This odd little workaround works for me. Thank you, bsaund :) Can anyone explain what's going on here in detail? I assume the controllers are somehow seeing different initial joint states if Gazebo is paused during initialization. Is there any plan to implement a more elegant solution? I might be able to make this contribution if I can better understand the problem.
