Issues with Planar Move Plugin
I'm currently running the planar move plugin example found here on kinetic and Ubuntu 16.04, and encountered some issues. I put the provided code into a URDF file exactly as given and launched it both directly and through a .launch file. The box spawns into the Gazebo environment and sits still. I know that the collision frame is a cylinder underneath the visual box, but the plugin seemingly does nothing. There is no explanation whether or not I need to insert more lines into the code in order to get the desired motion and I cannot find any documentation on what is needed. Does anybody know what to do to get it moving?
Not an answer, but: just adding the plugin doesn't cause anything to move. Just making sure.
Are you saying that the planar motion plugin does not command objects to do anything on its own?
Exactly. Did you expect it to do that?
