Turned out the issue was using the joint state publisher gui to set the goal configuration. Path planning worked fine if the final configuration was set from rviz.

I am having the same issue. Why was the question closed?

Hello everyone,

I'm working with a model of the schunk 7DOF arm in moveit. I import objects into the environment and publish the scene but still the planner provides a path that goes through the object. I get the sense that the planning pipeline and rviz are not communicating on the same topic.

How do I find out and fix it?

Thanks much

In case anyone else has this problem, it turns out that it was a symptom of my link meshes being comprised of multiple separate meshes per file rather than one mesh. Once I joined all the meshes, the problem went away.

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble loading environments and objects through the rviz moveit plugin GUI. My question is whether there is a way to specify a text environment for the plugin outside the GUI (maybe through the launch file?).

Thanks in advance

Hello everyone,

I installed moveit from the repo and am running it with ROS Hydro on Ubuntu 13.04 (although I've also tried on 12.04). Things seem to work fine with the pr2 tutorial. I followed the same steps to configure a schunk 7 DOF manipulator and then roslaunch demo.launch from that config.

Everything seems ok except that I cannot import anything into the environment. When the select file dialog box appears, it isn't able to navigate through folders. It's strange because I can do it (although slowly) with the pr2 demo.launch.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thank you
