Verify that JointTrajectoryController and JointVelocityController handle continuous joints #2

Open mkoval opened 9 years ago

We need to look at the source code of JointTrajectoryController and JointVelocityController to verify that these controllers properly handle joint wrapping. On a continuous joint, the PID error term should always point the "short way around" the great circle.

This may related to the strange behavior that @mklingen reported when executing trajectories on ADA.
