I'm trying to use Moveit and Gazebo with a custom controller provided by my robot's manufacturer. When I launch both moveit(+ rviz) and gazebo and try to plan, I get the following error:

[ERROR] [1586291253.875844268, 5322.770000000]: Unable to identify any set of controllers that can actuate the specified joints: [ right_gripper_l_finger_joint right_j0 right_j1 right_j2 right_j3 right_j4 right_j5 right_j6 ]
[ERROR] [1586291253.875874497, 5322.770000000]: Known controllers and their joints:
controller '/robot/limb/right' controls joints:
  right_j0
  right_j1
  right_j2
  right_j3
  right_j4
  right_j5
  right_j6

Note, that this works when I disable the gripper, meaning that moveit doesn't know what to do with the right_gripper_l_finger_joint. However, I specify the contoller for this joint in my controller manager yaml file like so:

controller_list:
# ... 
  - name: /io/end_effector
    action_ns: right_gripper
    type: sawyer_sim_controllers/ElectricGripperController
    default: true
    joints:
      - right_gripper_l_finger_joint

I've verified that the name and action namespace listed are correct:

>>># rostopic list | grep right_gripper
    /io/end_effector/right_gripper/command
    /io/end_effector/right_gripper/config
    /io/end_effector/right_gripper/state

And if I inspect the running controllers with rosservice call /robot/controller_manager/list_controllers I see my controller running:

controller: 
  - name: "electric_gripper_controller"
    state: "running"
    type: "sawyer_sim_controllers/ElectricGripperController"
    claimed_resources: 
      -  hardware_interface: "sawyer_hardware_interface::SharedJointInterface"
         resources: [right_gripper_l_finger_joint/MAIN_SETPOINT_COMMAND, right_gripper_r_finger_joint/MAIN_SETPOINT_COMMAND]

So, is there a piece here that I'm missing?

Edit:

Somehow I missed this before, but when starting RViz and moveit, it logs the following error:

[ERROR] [1586294845.676943431, 116.035000000]: Unknown controller type: sawyer_sim_controllers/ElectricGripperController

Still not sure what causes this as my ros params seem to be set up correctly and the controller manager knows about this type.

Haha, I've been on hold for an hour, almost like they went out of business or something... Anyways, I went ahead and i

Hey, thanks for looking into this. Since initially asking the question, I modified the parameters specified in my yaml f

Right, I understand that moveit doesn't know about the controller, but given that it is a subclass of EffortJointInterfa

Moveit Rviz Robot State Hi, I'm a bit confused about how the robot is visualized in RViz and it's relation to planning_s

I'm using rospy and moveit_commander to control a robot. It works wonderfully, except I cannot find a way in the API to handle a path planning failure. The MoveGroupCommander.plan() method does not seem to expose any value that indicates failure in python. Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks

Pretty basic question regarding TF2. I have a static camera with a known transform from the base of my robot. With the camera I am detecting a marker in my scene and getting a transform from the camera to the marker. Without broadcasting this new transform frame, how do I find the transform from the base to the marker?

Sorry if this is obvious, but all the methods I can find (lookupTransform for example) don't seem to perform this. I realize I could manually write the math to make this transform but it seems that there is a more idiomatic way to accomplish this.

Thanks

Ok, so there isn't a more idiomatic way to accomplish this using only the TF2 library? I'm might just have to go that ro

Well in my case the marker will potentially move during runtime so I can't use a static publisher. And yes, I was lookin

Thanks for the advice! When you say it is out of scope for a launch file, where would you abstract over the cameras then
