greczek_USC's profile - activity

Hello, I am new to both the NAO ROS package and actionlib, and I am trying to test if I can control the NAO's joints using the action goals in nao_controller. I would like an example of how to form the goal object that is sent to the robot, i.e.:

client = actionlib.SimpleActionClient('joint_trajectory', JointTrajectoryAction)
client.wait_for_server()
goal = ???
client.send_goal(goal)
client.wait_for_result()

Here is what I have been doing:

jt = JointAngleTrajectory()
jt.joint_names = ["HeadYaw", "HeadPitch"]
jt.joint_angles = [0, 0]
jt.times = [0.5, 0.5]
jtg = JointTrajectoryGoal()
jtg.trajectory = jt
jtag = JointTrajectoryActionGoal()
jtag.goal = jtg
client.send_goal(jtag)

But this gets me the error:

AttributeError: 'JointTrajectoryActionGoal' object has no attribute 'trajectory'

Could someone who has used nao_controller and/or actionlib before please clue me in on how to form this goal object? It would be nice to have an example to generalize to other goals in nao_controller like JointAnglesWithSpeedActionGoal.

Hello, I am trying to set up ROS on my Nao robot. I keep getting the error: "Please make sure that Aldebaran's NaoQI API is in your PYTHONPATH." I found the answer below:

http://answers.ros.org/question/28814/adding-naoqi-to-the-pythonpath

and executed

PYTHONPATH=/my/path/to/naoqi-sdk-1.12-linux32/lib:${PYTHONPATH} ,

with "/my/path/to" being the path to the SDK in my system, but the error did not go away. I am using naoqi-sdk-1.12-linux32, so is the path different for this newer version?
