Get distance from end effector to object face Gazebo
Hi,
I'm currently trying to get the distance between my Robot's (Kuka Youbot) end effector and an object in Gazebo (sometimes an imported model, sometimes just a unit cube) for some measurement experiments.
I'm thinking of trying a few different techniques, such as either using the Gazebo Plotting tool and doing some basic maths to work out the position of the edge (alongside the active position of the EE) or manually measuring on Rviz via Gazebo2Rviz.
I just want to check that I'm not missing an easier or more accurate technique?
