Hello there,

I am not able to decrease the speed of my real robot. If I am decreasing the speed from RVIZ by setting Velecoty Scaling and Accel Scaling then it is working fine. If I am giving the robot a trajectory from python code then it very fast does anyone have an idea of how can I be able to solve this issue?

I have tried few things:

By using set_max_velocity_scaling_factor and set_max_acceleration_scaling_factor function as maintained in following post.

move_group = moveit_commander.MoveGroupCommander(group_name) move_group.set_max_velocity_scaling_factor(0.01) move_group.set_max_acceleration_scaling_factor(0.01)
I have updated default_velocity_scaling_factor and default_acceleration_scaling_factor to 0.01 in joint_limits.yaml file.

in case of computeCartesianPath(..) there is no support for scaling velocities/accelerations. You can control the speed by using retime_trajectory(..):

        waypoints = getMyWaypoints()

        (plan, fraction) = group.compute_cartesian_path(
            waypoints,
            0.01,
            0.0
        )
        plan = group.retime_trajectory(moveit_commander.RobotCommander().get_current_state(), 
                                       plan, 
                                       velocity_scaling_factor)
        group.execute(plan, wait=True)

Thanks! it works

moveit_robot_state = moveit_commander.RobotCommander().get_current_state()

Also speed is actually the speed scaling factor.

Updated my answer to be more generic. as @lorepieri commented.

Hi, do you know how to implement this in c++? I looked into the MoveGroupInterface class here here but couldn't find a retime_trajectory function

robra ( 2023-02-28 05:18:13 -0600 )edit

retime_trajectory is only available in rospy, no corresponding function in cpp

Thanks, but just for reference, time parameterization can be implemented in c++ using the corresponding classes here and therefore the retime_trajectory is not needed in c++

hi, how to use it, could you please give a template code!
