moveit, the tutorial node motion_planning_api_tutorial.launch does not work
Use ROS KINETIC and follow the moveit tutorial with the panda robot. When I get to the Motion Planning API section roslaunch moveittutorials motionplanningapitutorial.launc and it does not work

After some digging, I found a patch for the melodic-devel branch that is applicable to kinetic-devel too. The merge request for that patch is here, and the relevant commit is 89f3257. From the command line, navigate to the moveit_tutorials package and run this command:
git checkout kinetic-devel
git cherry-pick 89f3257
You might need to resolve a few minor conflicts depending on the state of your working directory. It's probably a good idea to git stash your changes before your start. Once you get the patch applied, run catkin_make on your workspace and you should be good to go.
Note that after the patch you now need to run two launch scripts for this demo, in order:
roslaunch panda_moveit_config demo.launch
roslaunch moveit_tutorials motion_planning_api_tutorial.launch
I have created a pull request to officially backport this patch to the kinetic-devel branch.

I'm also experiencing this same issue; logs are identical. I'm digging on it now, and I'll post an answer if I figure something out.

The first error ("Found empty JointState message") is addressed here. Seems like that one is just a holdover a change last summer, and basically indicates that somewhere the planner is trying to apply a zero diff configuration. Not a big deal.
