hey sam,

Hope you have got this working by now.

I was finally able to run this. I guess the issue over here is computation speed (I guess). As I made no other significant changes which have affected this. I didn't open rviz for the last time. I am using 2.93Ghz Quad core i3 processor,2GB RAM ,nVidia GeForce 9600M GT, ROS electric on Ubuntu 11.10

Here is the exact step I followed:-

  1. roscore
  2. roslaunch pr2_gazebo pr2_empty_world.launch
  3. rosservice call laser_tilt_controller/set_periodic_cmd '{ command: { header: { stamp: 0 }, profile: "linear" , period: 3 , amplitude: 1 , offset: 0 }}'
  4. roslaunch gazebo_worlds table.launch
  5. rosrun gazebo spawn_model -gazebo -file `rospack find gazebo_worlds`/objects/coffee_cup.model -model coffee_cup -x 0.7 -z 0.6
  6. Put the arms on side (outside the view of the laser scan)
    with help of http://ros.org/wiki/pr2_simulator/Tutorials/Teleop%20PR2%20arm%20in%20simulation
  7. roslaunch pr2_tabletop_manipulation_launch pr2_tabletop_manipulation.launch stereo:=true
    As in Bringing up the PR2 pipeline : I didn't set
    set use_slip_controllers:=true in
    pr2_tabletop_manipulation_launch pr2_tabletop_manipulation.launch as it was giving an error like
    Machine [c1] already added and does not match duplicate entry
    Also I created a database with household_objects-0.5_electric_prerelease_3.backup
  8. Finaly ran the code for simple pick and place

It was able to pick the cup and move it, while placing the cup I guess it slipped out, but thats good enough. I will now try to run it on multiple machines for better speed.

cheers

Corrected the answer as I now know why the error was coming, previously I thought it of computation speed problem

Make sure that stereo camera is able to see the table and object (cup) on it. The rviz should look sth like : http://www.cse.iitb.ac.in/~aknirala/images/CupInView.jpeg
Cup
If it does not see the table on the pipeline terminal it will print:

as of now I don't know the simple thing of how to rotate the stereo cameras. I have posted this at : http://answers.ros.org/question/36680/changing-the-stereo-camera-angle-in-pr2-simulation/ Hope you can help
