Define correct move_group for using TracIK with python

edit

Hello,

when I try to interact with a move_group via a python script called by a launch file, the default value for solve_type is used instead of the one defined in the kinematics.yaml.

This is what my kinematics.yaml file looks like:

arm:    
kinematics_solver: trac_ik_kinematics_plugin/TRAC_IKKinematicsPlugin 
kinematics_solver_timeout: 0.005    
solve_type: Manipulation1

When I start the robot system and moveit with a separate launch file, it seems to read the content of kinematics.yaml correctly:

PARAMETERS
...
 * /robot_description_kinematics/arm/kinematics_solver: trac_ik_kinematic...
 * /robot_description_kinematics/arm/kinematics_solver_timeout: 0.005
 * /robot_description_kinematics/arm/solve_type: Manipulation1
 ...

This is my script:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# import libs
# Initilaize

moveit_commander.roscpp_initialize(sys.argv)
robot = moveit_commander.RobotCommander()
group = moveit_commander.MoveGroupCommander("arm")

joint_pub_arm = rospy.Publisher('robot_arm/arm/joint_trajectory_controller/command',JointTrajectory , queue_size=1)
joint_pub_base= rospy.Publisher('robot_arm/base/joint_trajectory_controller/command',JointTrajectory , queue_size=1)

def callback(data_in): 

    #generate pose ...

    plan1= group.plan(p.pose)

    msg = plan1.joint_trajectory

    comb_msg = split_msg_base_arm (msg)
    base_msg = comb_msg[0]
    arm_msg = comb_msg[1]

    joint_pub_arm.publish(arm_msg)
    joint_pub_base.publish(base_msg)

# ============================================================================================
def listener(): 
    rospy.init_node("touch_listener", anonymous=True)
    rospy.Subscriber("touchscreen", touchscreen_data,  callback, queue_size=1)   
    rospy.spin()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    listener()

This is my launch file:

<launch>
  <group ns ="move_group">
    <rosparam command="load" file="$(find robotino_arm_6dof_moveit_config)/config/kinematics.yaml"/>
  </group>

  <node name="touch_listener" pkg="demo_1" type="fast_hack_touch_listener.py" respawn="false" output="screen">
  </node>  
</launch>

When i try to launch it the following happens:

started roslaunch server http://robotino:47211/

A new move_group_commander_wrapper_* is created instead of using the existing move_group to get the parameter from. I guess that this is a wrong usage of the move_group python interface.

How can I correct this?

Thank you very much!
