Hi all,

I am using moveit's move_group_interface in C++ to generate a trajectory between two NamedTargets for Youbot. Everything works fine including visualization in RViz. However, on repeated execution, the trajectories look slightly different for the same set of targets. So, my question is: Is there any way one can save a trajectory so that it can be reused later on? I have tried saving the "plan.trajectory_", but it doesn't seem to work. Details of current setup is given below.

Robot: Youbot
Planner: OMPL/RRTkConfigDefault
Interface: moveit/move_group_interface in C++
Logic/Sequence Used:
1. Set Start State to Current State
2. Set a Named Target
3. Visualize the plan in Rviz
4. Execute the plan

Thanks

You can write a script to save the generated plan. When you command a target position in MoveIt!, you can access the trajectory using moveit::planning_interface::MoveGroup::Plan (API). You can save this trajectory as a YAML file and read it next time you are executing the motion, use this Plan for execution. Unfortunately, there is no available function which performs this action.

Is there a reference for dumping yaml in c++?

Got this working for python on UR5 in Gazebo

import yaml
import os

plan = group.plan()

file_path = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser('~'), 'saved_trajectories', 'plan.yaml')
with open(file_path, 'w') as file_save:
    yaml.dump(plan, file_save, default_flow_style=True)

with open(file_path, 'r') as file_open:
    loaded_plan = yaml.load(file_open)

group.execute(loaded_plan)

Is there a way to save the trajectory using RViz?
