No feedback from PR2 head trajectory controller #384

Open pidipidi opened 8 years ago

pidipidi commented 8 years ago

Hello,

We have two PR2 robots. I am trying to control the head of a PR2 using an actionlib package with a topic "/head_traj_controller/point_head_action." Problem is that the PR2 does not move its head at all. I found the PR2 does not return any feedback through a topic, "/head_traj_controller/point_head_action/feedback," after I send a command. I checked another PR2 which properly provides feedback message after sending the same command. I also tried to stop, re-load, and start the controller using "pr2_controller_manager." There was no change.

I think there is no hardware issue since the joint trajectory action controller works without any problem using "head_traj_controller/joint_trajectory_action." Could you tell me any instruction to find the cause of this problem?

Best, Daehyung

What does your PR2 say when you type (when the robot has been started and roslaunch /etc/ros/robot.launch has been run)

rostopic list

what about

locate head_traj_controller

I finally found the cause of problem. A PR2 robot, which was upgraded into Indigo long time ago, has 'head_mount_link', but recently upgraded robot has 'head_mount_kinect_link' instead of 'head_mount_link.' I don't know why two robots have different URDF structure in this moment. After changing a target frame name when I create a command message, it works without any problem.

Thank you!!
