Hi, i am current working with the arm_navigation stack on our care-o-bot. I have followed the IROS ompl tutorial to run the arm navigation. I have been succeeded to send the arm command from warehouse viewer to the gazebo simulation. But when i switch to the real robot, the warehouse viewer tend to died after i push the accept button.

The arm_navigation seems to work fine, it succeeded to connect to the right action server and i got the output similar like the one i got in simulation. But the warehouse viewer doesn't seem to work. I also try to run both arm navigation and warehouseviewer on the robot and on the desktop pc or one on remote one on robot pc by changing the corresponding warehouse_hostname parameter, but it gives no improvements.

And when i run the warehouse at a desktop pc, which means the warehouse hostname is the robot pc. I got following debug info from the rxconsole. It seems to be a connection error to the database.

Starting mongodb with db location arm_navigation_dbs/cob3_4 listening on cob3-4-pc1:27020

Hmm, that sounds a bit like my problem. As soon as I try to use real robot data the warehouse viewer crashes. Are you using an installation with the newest deb? Maybe there is a bug in that one.

Have you already tried the suggestions in this post? http://answers.ros.org/question/28163/error-when-using-real-robot-data-for

/update

I got the warehouse viewer running for me now. Maybe the below solves your problem, too.

Digging deeper using gdb I found the troublemaker in PlanningSceneEditor::jointStateCallback in move_arm_utils.cpp. In this function the assumption is made, that the velocity array of the joint_state message has the same size as the position array. This is not the case for our robot (we don't publish velocities, only positions). Hence, I changed the code as shown below and the warehouse viewer runs smoothly now.

Original:

//message already been validated in kmsm
for(unsigned int i = 0; i < joint_state->position.size(); ++i)
{
  joint_state_map[joint_state->name[i]] = joint_state->position[i];
  joint_velocity_map[joint_state->name[i]] = joint_state->velocity[i];
}

New:

//message already been validated in kmsm
if ( joint_state->velocity.size() == joint_state->position.size() )
{
  for(unsigned int i = 0; i < joint_state->position.size(); ++i)
  {
    joint_state_map[joint_state->name[i]] = joint_state->position[i];
    joint_velocity_map[joint_state->name[i]] = joint_state->velocity[i];
  }
}
else
{
  for(unsigned int i = 0; i < joint_state->position.size(); ++i)
  {
    joint_state_map[joint_state->name[i]] = joint_state->position[i];
    joint_velocity_map[joint_state->name[i]] = 0.0;
  }
}

PS: I tried attaching the patch to this post, but keep getting the error "TypeError: data is undefined".

Thanks Marcus. I have the same issue as you did. The velocity value of some joints are not published. I add some code in my driver nodes and now everything goes fine.

Hey guys, I just checked and my warehouse viewer still hangs after these changes. This is what my output from the console is: http://i.imgur.com/w6xMPH4.png. I am also able to visualize in rviz and I am publishing joint_states: http://i.imgur.com/y8WzBtZ.png. Any Ideas?
