"MoveIt Quickstart in RViz" seems to be out of date

muhidabid commented 3 months ago

Description

I successfully ran and went through the MoveIt Quickstart in RViz however I noticed a few details in the tutorial to be different than the demo I ran:

World is not empty upon launching the demo for the first time
There seems to be no kinova robot but a panda robot
Fixed Frame field does not have a /base_link option but rather is already set to panda_0
Planned Path menu drop-down in Displays seems to have been renamed to Trajectory
under MotionPlanning in Planning Request there is no Planning Group called manipulator but rather panda_arm

There may be few more discrepancies which I may have missed.

🚀 I am new to opensource and if this page needs to be updated I would like to volunteer to help do so. Please guide me accordingly.

Your environment

ROS Distro: Humble
OS Version: Ubuntu 22.04

Steps to reproduce

Step 1: Getting Started Step 2: MoveIt Quickstart in RViz

Expected behaviour

Documentation must be up to date with the current demo.

If you see a Franka robot, then you must be using the Humble version of the tutorials. Main uses a Kinova.

So you can either use the main branch of the tutorials (noting this only works on Jazzy/Rolling now), or follow along with the Humble tutorials.
