Hi all, I'm using libgazebo_ros_ft_sensor.so plugin to find torques in joints and control joints using gazebo_ros_control plugin. However when I compare joint torque from sensor and position_controller/state/command value (result of PID work), they are not the same. Their behaviour looks similar but as if sensor value n times smaller than command value. What could be the reason? Thanks!
Hi everyone! Seems that the solution is found! The issue was that i set high friction and damping coefficients in joint. As mentioned in here, motor torque = joint torque + friction (static and dynamic damping). PID set motor torque by Joint::SetForce in Gazebo and joint effort limits its value (see here). As for ft_sensor, it shows joint torque value (motor torque - friction). So if we set friction to 0 (both static and dynamic) ft_sensor and PID values are identical. Or in case of joint effort limits effect ft_sensor value is cut.

units? proportional term?
Sensor uses GetForceTorque function of gazebo which provides values in SI as I expect. ros_control generates effort as I understand and should be also in N*m. There are no multiplication factors
