I'm trying to pick and place an object using dual panda arms at the same time. Following this tutorial, both arms can pick and place at different times (not at the same time).

For now, I'm just trying to make one of them pick through the planning group "two_panda_arms". I tried that by:

• Specifying the planning group "two_panda_arms" that contains the two planning groups of the 2 panda arms in different namespaces. The script is shown here in cpp.
• Specifying an End Effector explicitly using setEndEffectorLink("franka2_link8") and implicitly; inside the SRDF file.

Here's the Terminal Output:

I'm using Kinetic on Ubuntu 16.04.

I don't need synchronized motion, just grasping different objects at the same time.

I have achieved in moving both of them at the same time by defining a Target Pose and a Joint Goal.

Here's 2 issues, that are kind of similar to mine but didn't solve my issue. issue1 and issue2

bool rocket_found_ik = kinematic_state->setFromIK(rocket_joint_model_group, rocket_pose, timeout);
bool groot_found_ik = kinematic_state->setFromIK(groot_joint_model_group, groot_pose, timeout);

kinematic_state->copyJointGroupPositions(rocket_joint_model_group, rocket_joint_values);
kinematic_state->copyJointGroupPositions(groot_joint_model_group, 

// planning group with rocket and groot
rng_group_interface.setJointValueTarget(rocket_joint_names, 
rng_group_interface.setJointValueTarget(groot_joint_names, 

bool success = (rng_group_interface.plan(my_plan) == moveit::planning_interface::MoveItErrorCode::SUCCESS);
