Hello everyone! I have a manipulator with MoveIt and rospy and I use method

get_current_joint_values()

for getting current state of joints. But I want to get the values like it is on the picture image description How can I convert coordinates from output like

[7.30249639134854e-05, -0.5748639571155212, 1.110629325310894, 6.552529423497617e-05, -6.95780344773084e-05]
to angles like on the picture?

Hello,

get_current_joint_values()

With this function, you will get coordinate in the radian form stated by the standard ros coordinate system.

to angles like on the picture?

In the picture, you are seeing the angle of every axis that coordinate system is degree coordinates of robot.

Now, You just have to convert radiant coordinate to degree coordinate and you will get the degree of each joint as shown in the picture.

degrees = radians × 180° / 3.1415 # 3.1415 = π

or

You can take the help of online tools for converting radiant to a degree.
