Hi all,

Which topic can we subscribe to in order to get the result of trajectory execution. I am using move_group_interface. I have tried to subscribe to /execute_trajectory/result, but, this works if we use move_group execute method, and does not provide feedback for motion commands that were issued with move_group move method. /follow_joint_trajectory/result does not return anything when controller cannot execute the trajectory. However, it reports for successfully completed trajectories.

We want to issue some motion commands in sequence but for sending the next command, we want to know that last one was completed.

thanks, Zahid

It is not clear what you mean by "get the result". If you want to know where the arm actually is, subscribe to /joint_states or use a move_group_interface call like get_current_joint_values().

If you want to know the outcome after using an Action Server, some action servers report it with get_result(), and others with get_state(). Note that your node should be using the libaction client API calls, not directly subscribing to the topics.

thanks Mike, I want to get the result in my code after the completion of trajectory, or if the controller failed to execute the trajectory. I am using move_group_interface, and there is no direct API call to achieve that. When using move_group, is there an action server that runs in the background and how can I access it for invoking the calls that you mentioned. Zahid

I'm a little confused by your question. I would expect each blocking (synchronous) movement method in move_group_interface to return a status code. Which one does not?

thank you Mike, you are right, I overlooked it. So, move_group_interface class move() method does return MoveItErrorCodes value. I was not checking the return value before.
