using move group interface for a real robot

[puren]

Description

Hello,

I can run roslaunch moveit_tutorials move_group_interface_tutorial.launch without any issue. I even modified the code for my own purposes. It works perfectly fine for simulation. Now I want to run it on Panda Franka arm. But the same code cannot be used to move a real robot arm. The code freezes in the begining: moveit::planning_interface::MoveGroupInterface move_group(PLANNING_GROUP); What can be the reason for that?

By the way, I can move Panda robot arm by using moveit by running the following command: roslaunch panda_moveit_config moveit_rviz.launch I simply drag the arm to a specific place in the simulation and then click to plan and execute in rviz interface. Then, in reality the arm perfectly moves to the place in the simulation.

I want to do the same with Move group interface with some randomly sampled end-effector poses but as I said, it stucks in the begining. I am probably missing a very obvious point since I am new in using moveit.

Your environment

• ROS Distro: Kinetic
• OS Version: Ubuntu 16.04

Steps to reproduce

Connecting to a robot arm like panda and run roslaunch moveit_tutorials move_group_interface_tutorial.launch

Expected behaviour

The arm doesn't move.
