Regarding the new name of the repo, I was thinking about something like xcub_moveit2 or xcub_ros2. Since it contains the configuration files for both iCub and ergoCub, I think that xcub could be a solution to avoid using a long name like icub_ergocub_moveit2. Moreover, I saw that the convention with this kind of project is to use the _ros2 suffix even if they contain also MoveIt2-dependent packages. I don't have a strong opinion about the two, what do you think is the best?

I like xcub 👍🏻

I would go for _moveit2 as that's our main contribution. Maybe people rely on _ros2 even with the presence of MoveIt2 packages since those are needed for other goals.

Could this be the case? If not, I'm fine with _ros2 too.

traversaro commented 8 months ago

Can we use - instead of _ for consistency with the rest of repo in the organization?

martinaxgloria commented 8 months ago

No prob, we go with xcub-moveit2 then?

pattacini commented 8 months ago

Ok!

pattacini commented 8 months ago

Hi @traversaro, as per https://github.com/icub-tech-iit/tickets/issues/218, the last step to accomplish this task is to publish the iCub/ergoCub support on the MoveIt website. Are you in contact with some maintainers to understand how to proceed?

In https://moveit.ros.org/robots/ they mentioned to either contact picknik or post on discourse. To understand more, I asked on MoveIt's Discord: https://discordapp.com/channels/717058325480734830/717148778238574623/1185146323687710791 . I will ping relevant persons if we do not get an answer. In the meanwhile, I would prepare a cool photo to replace the really old one in the moveit website.

We should add both iCub and ergoCub to the website, for the right photo to put we may ask @maggia80

On MoveIt's discord @sea-bass kindly pointed out that we can just open a PR against this repo: https://github.com/ros-planning/moveit.ros.org/blob/789f50461b68b332b02695e3cb2976db3df0b5c7/robots/index.markdown?plain=1#L1594-L1603 , so probably we can just open a PR on that repo.
