That what I was planning, hope I'll have time for all of this, I know well the UR, so it shouldn't be too long, but for

Thank you for that quick response, too bad for me that these driver don't adhere as the specifications, I'll have a lot

Hello, I want to know if there is a way to get the error in a common way for ros-industrial robots, independently of the robot I use.

My actual project may use different kind of robots that's why we decided to use ROS-I, to communicate by the same way.
The problems begin when I have to deal with errors.
Example: On the Universal-robot, the robot may stop because of the "protective lock", but on the Kuka they may be others.
I actually can get the protective error by subscribing on /rosout, and filter message by name and message (but as I filter by name "/ur_driver", it's not generic).

The second problem it implies is how to handles them ? For the UR "protective lock", the only solution I found was to send a socket command to it's dashboard interface, but again, it's not generic.

Did you know how can I handle all these kind of errors in a generic way ? Or is that unsupported by ROS-industrial interfaces and I have to deal with each type of error, for each robot we want to use ?

Also, sort of same question for the robot state ? Any way to know if the robot we use in On/Off/Ready/ etc ?

Hello,
I'm searching how to implement a regular "manual" move with ros-industrial, and probably moveit.
By manual move, I mean that when a user press a button, the robot end-effector start moving in a single axis, and when he release it, the robot stop. (The movement on every industrial robot UI I guess (I only know UR and KUKA))

I currently did that, but in a "not smooth" way, like: when he press a button, and until he release it, I publish once each ms on a topic that I want it to go x cm more on that axis. but dues to accelerations, the robot don't do it smoothly.

I also tried like this: on the press event, I call a service so the robot start to go to a far point on this axis, and until I release the button, I publish each ms on a topic to say that I want it to continue, if it didn't receive this topic in time, the robot stop. Problem here was that I can't really define the "far" point, because it's related to the current position, and on the robot articulations (I think I can't, not sure)

Is there something I'm missing ?
Hope you can help, thank you!

Thanks a lot for this precise answer, indeed I was wrong on my need to use moveit, I only wanted the IK-solver part. You

Thank you, well played for this solution, I will try to implement this for my needs !

Hello, I'm exactly in the same situation, did you manage to find a solution for this ?

For me none of this worked, I always have an error like "field data[] must be an integer type" (or a float if it's a fl
