Distance to collision normal in MoveIt!

Hello,

When checking for collision in MoveIt! using CollisionResult, one can get the distance to the nearest collision. Is it possible to also have the normal vector along that distance? Basically, I'm trying to get as much collision information as possible before it happens, so direction in addition to proximity would be very useful.

Thanks, JML

unfortunately the collision checking used in moveit does not currently provide the information desired. this information is included in fcl so it could be provided. could you open a bug for this?
