Help understanding moveit next steps - execute plan then what?

I am very new to ROS and moveit. I have completed panda tutorials and have been able to move robot arm around. If I click plan it works, if I click execute it looks like it works. Does the current move for axis positions get saved somewhere? What do I do with it now?

I have watched countless tutorials but none seem to answer what to do next. I suspect it is common knowledge on what happens next that I just haven't found yet.

The question "How do I get to my goal?" cannot be answered if you don't state the goal. This question is not answerable as is.

I am tempted to link "What to do with my life?" tutorial videos and be all snarky, but to answer your questions:

  • The last move (the last joint trajectory) does not get automatically saved after you execute it. You can plan and execute a new move, or extract the trajectory from the planning result.
  • What you "do with it" depends on what you want to do with your robot.
  • Most commonly, users move the robots to certain poses they want, do something with it (like grasping and releasing items), or repeat trajectories and actions for demos and applications.
