Revision history [back]

Maybe the robot is starting beyond a ROS joint limit. The wrist on the UR5 can rotate infinitely, which confuses ROS if it is beyond [-360,360] (or [-180,180] if you're using the joint-limited version).

It could be that it thinks the robot is in collision, too, but I think there would have been some more errors printed if that were the case.
