I want to jog an industrial 6-axis robot in rviz via a xbox 360 wireless controller.

I have created a MoveIt package as described here and started the demo.launch. Next, I followed these instruction to start the joystick_control.launch.

Although I have installed the latest ros-indigo-moveit-full I get the error

ERROR: cannot launch node of type [moveit_ros_visualization/moveit_joy.py]: can't locate node [moveit_joy.py] in package [moveit_ros_visualization]

How can fix that error?

Thanks a lot, kr RockOn

Your new error looks significantly different from the original problem. I'd suggest that you ask a new question instead of updating this one; that way, if someone comes along with a similar question, they'll find a simple answer.

Reverted back to the original question.

Note though that moveit_joy.py does not allow you to jog the robot directly, but exposes a joystick interface to the interactive markers the MoveIt RViz plugin uses to configure the start and goal targets. This is rather different from how you'd normally jog an industrial robot.
