Hello,

I am trying to use kortex_moveit for multiple gen3 arm but running into an issue when i try to launch it.

Can someone please suggest a solution for this.

moriarty commented 9 months ago

This seems familiar but I'm not on my computer right now.

Which version of MoveIt are you using?

Can you provide your launch file?

gtirth commented 9 months ago

launch_file.txt

I am using moveit_2 for humble distro.

I have attached file that i created for custom robot that has 2 gen3 arms. There might be some more changes which i would have to do but i was not able to launch it so i did not do all the modifications in the launch file. I was able to create the move_it package with moveit_setup_assistant but I have not been able to create a launch file that would allow me move the arms. I was able to test and move individual arms with kinova_gen3_7dof_robotiq_2f_85_moveit_config.

I would appreciate if you help or redirect me to some resources which would allow to do that

@gtirth, I'm working on a multiarm setup too but haven't had much luck. I was wondering if you were able to set it up.
