How to control the velocity of the end effector? #149

Closed EdXian closed 6 years ago

EdXian commented 6 years ago

Hi all, I have to control the velocity and acceleration of the end effector due to research purpose . Is it posible to control these states in simulation?

gavanderhoorn commented 6 years ago

Simulation: yes, but with some work. It should be possible to use gazebo_ros_control and to write a Cartesian controller that will allow you to do what you want. I'm not aware of anything immediately reusable.

Real robot: velocity: not with abb_driver, maybe with abb_libegm. Acceleration (effort?): I'm not aware of a way to control that directly with ABB robots (without a force torque sensor, that is).

Could I ask you to please ask questions like this on ROS Answers? This issue tracker is for reporting problems with the packages in this repository. Your question is more a general inquiry.

Hi @gavanderhoorn, Ok , thanks you for your information.
