Hello, I just have a question. Can EGM or Even RWS be used to get the current or torque of the motors?

jontje commented 4 years ago

As far as I know, then EGM cannot currently do that.

See https://github.com/ros-industrial/abb_libegm/issues/86#issuecomment-595839429 for one way of how RWS could be used (i.e. the "option 2" section). Also, please note that RWS is not designed for high performance.

As this is not an issue with the library in this repository, and @jontje has answered the question, I'm closing it.

Feel free to keep commenting on the issue of course.
