Hello, I'm trying to control my robot which is written in xacro file. I added launch file that is responsible for controlling the robot, which looks like this:

<param name="robot_decription" command="$(find xacro)/xacro '$(find mybot_description)/urdf/mybot.xacro' " />

<node name="urdf_spawner" pkg="gazebo_ros" type="spawn_model" respawn="false" output="screen" args="-urdf -model mybot -param robot_description -y -6"/>
<!-- load the controllers -->
<rosparam file="$(find mybot_control)/config/mybot_control.yaml" command="load"/>
<node name="controller_spawner" pkg ="controller_manager" type="spawner" ns="/mybot" args="bl_wheel_trans_controller br_wheel_trans_controller joint_state_controller --shutdown-timeout 3"/>
<!-- converts joint states to TF transforms -->
<node name="robot_state_publisher" pkg="robot_state_publisher" type="robot_state_publisher" respawn="false" output="screen">
    <remap from="joint_state" to="/mybot/joint_states" />
</node>

My config.yaml looks like this:

mybot:
joint_state_controller:
    type: joint_state_controller/JointStateController
    publish_rate: 20

bl_wheel_trans_controller:
    type: effort_controllers/JointPositionController
    joint: bl_wheel_hinge
    pid: {p: 1.0, i: 1.0, d: 0.0}

br_wheel_trans_controller:
    type: effort_controllers/JointPositionController
    joint: br_wheel_hinge
    pid: {p: 1.0, i: 1.0, d: 0.0}

After running the launch file, an error

load_parameters: unable to set parameters (last param was [/bl_wheel_trans_controller/pid/i=1.0]): cannot marshal None unless allow_none is enabled

What am I doing wrong? I haven't used any "none" arguments in the code but the error still exists.

There is an indentation problem with your config.yaml. If you use some kind of online yaml interpreter you will see the issue. The value for key mybot is interpreted as null since mybot is at the same indentation level as joint_state_controller etc.

Yes, this is the most common cause for this problem.

Provided the OP has pasted a verbatim copy of config.yaml of course.

Hello! You can follow the above tutorial: http://docs.ros.org/en/indigo/api/mov... Configure it. But one thing I must point out is that your situation also appeared when my trajectory_control.yaml and controllers.yaml were configured; after careful inspection, I found that in your moveit_config package, the launch file failed to load controller.yaml, but the loaded ros_controllers.yaml, which led to the failure to recognize! ! I use an effort controller! Hope it can help you!
