Position and Velocity
Is there a standard-ish message that represents an object's 3d position and 3d velocity?

geometry_msgs/Twist is for velocities, geometry_msgs/Pose is for position and orientation.
nav_msgs/Odometry contains both together with covariances (whereas designed for other purpose).
If you just need Twist and Pose together, you can easily design your own message.
There is a message called JointMessage under common_msgs/sensor_msgs. It is defined as follows:
Header header
string[] name
float64[] position
float64[] velocity
float64[] effort
I'm unclear as to what name means but the other parameters are defined as:
# The state of each joint (revolute or prismatic) is defined by:
# * the position of the joint (rad or m),
# * the velocity of the joint (rad/s or m/s) and
# * the effort that is applied in the joint (Nm or N).
Since these parameters are arrays they should suffice for your needs.

I wang to find the specific data of velocity and position
position and velocity mode control simultaniously for Baxter robot
Why joint position controller is not sensitive to changing PID gains?
Service won't build with geometry messages
What steps need to plot velocity using joint_states/velocity[2] in rqt ??
Why is my received pose msg isn't correct?
