Hello ROS Helpers,

Environment: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS ROS Kinetic and ROS Kinetic Moveit

Issue (steps to reproduce):

git repository to test: https://github.com/alansrobotlab/inmo...

git cloned to catkin/src directory

used Moveit setup assistant along with inmoov.urdf.xacro (https://github.com/alansrobotlab/inmo...) to set up moveit_config package. with one planning group ARM and one ROS controller named arm_controller,

Kinematic resolve chosen > KDLK Kinematic resolver

I then launched - roslaunch inmoov_moveit_config demo.launch

Then Moveit gui launches

I have updated the start state

For goal state I chose > random valid > and then update

Then I clicked on "Plan" button on the left (under commands)

And I got the errors below ( Unable to construct goal representation)

I got very confused....,

Can you please help?

ok, I'm focusing on first error because I still dont understand at which minimum value I'm looking at... : Joint 'l_shoulder_lift_joint' from the starting state is outside bounds by a significant margin: [ -0.785398 ] should be in the range [ 0.785398 ], [ -2.35619 ] but the error above the ~start_state_max_bounds_error parameter (currently set to 0.1)

so from your advice, does that mean the above joint value [ -0.785398 ] is less than [ 0.785398 ] and not equals to [ -2.35619 ] ? so does that mean I need to adjust this joint value [ -0.785398 ] ? or should I be looking at the values above: the min_bound: 0.785398 and max_bound: -2.35619 ( I need to make them match in the config/urdf)? I got confused here...

if for config file, which one should I be looking at to swap back minmax joint?

So it has nothing to do with this value (start_state_max_bounds_error ...(more)

Each rotating joint on your robot arm has a minimum and maximum value that the joint position can be set to. This is part of the physical description of the arm, and is usually found in a urdf or xacro file. To avoid damaging the arm, the software reports an error if you try to command the joint to rotate to a position less than min_position or greater than max_position.

You need to figure out where these values are defined in your project, then confirm the values are good for your specific robot arm.

ok thank you Mike, I get more of an idea now on where to look to fix this issue, I had located the /inmoov_ros/inmoov_bringup/config/config.yaml and inside this file say I'm focusing on the l_shoulder_lift_joint and I found below the values for this joint:

l_shoulder_lift_joint: bus: 1 servoPin: 9 minPulse: 550 maxPulse: 2500 minGoal: 45.0 maxGoal: -135.0 rest: 0.0 maxSpeed: 0.0 smoothing: 0 sensorPin: 16 minSensor: 750 maxSensor: 2200

Are the minGoal and maxGoal values that you mentioned above appeared to be swap? are these 2 values that I should be focusing that caused the errors above?

In the config.joints.urdf.xacro, the "l_shoulder_lift_joint_lower" appears as below:

<xacro:property name="l_shoulder_lift_joint_lower" value="${r*c['joints'['l_shoulder_lift_joint'['**minGoal'**]}"/> <"same as above line"['maxGoal']}"/>

please advice

Please be very careful using these files with a real robot arm, because sending commands may cause motion you do not expect. It does not seem like these files were designed to work with moveit. If you start making changes, you should test them in gazebo first. My opinion is that fixing this is too complex a task for this Q/A format.

Ok thank you for the advice, yes I'm trying to test them in Gazebo first and not damage the robot,

and so I ran the command:roslaunch inmoov_moveit_config demo_gazebo.launch

and I got the errors, please advice
