I would like to have the ability to disable arm-arm collision.

Hi Fatma,

This has been addressed in the upcoming 0.7.0 release.

Available with releases <= 0.6.2 is the ability to disable torso collision avoidance. https://github.com/RethinkRobotics/sdk-docs/wiki/API-Reference#collision-avoidance

$ rostopic pub -r 10 /robot/limb/right/CollisionAvoidance/suppress_body_avoidance std_msgs/Empty

Available with releases >= 0.7.0 is the ability to disable all collision avoidance.

$ rostopic pub -r 10 /robot/limb/right/suppress_collision_avoidance std_msgs/Empty

Please read the warning in the above documentation! This feature was designed to keep your robot safe from damage. Use with caution.
