Why is my robot moving so slow with MoveIt?

My robot is running slower than it should. It can move much faster. How can I make it go at full speed?

By default, the velocity and acceleration is set to 10% of the robot's maximum in MoveIt (starting from Noetic). You can change the values in your code with this C++ and this Python function, or change the default value in the joint_limits.yaml file in your moveit_config package.

In addition to what @fvd writes, also check whether the robot model has appropriate velocity and acceleration limits configured.

If it doesn't, MoveIt (or actually: the time-parameterisation plugins) will assume a default of 1.0 rad/s and 1.0 rad/s^2 for all joints without limits:

  • here for the IterativeSplineParameterization
  • here and here for the TimeOptimalTrajectoryGeneration
