sbpl_manipulation

This repository contains a set of motion planners for robotic arms that use the SBPL planning library.

1. Get the code:

   git clone https://github.com/bcohen/sbpl_manipulation

   git clone -b groovy https://github.com/bcohen/leatherman

   git clone https://github.com/sbpl/sbpl_geometry_utils

   git clone https://github.com/sbpl/sbpl

2. Build everything:

   rosmake sbpl_arm_planner_test

3. Bring up a roscore & rviz (I do it seperatly, you don't have to)

   Terminal 1: roscore Terminal 2: rosrun rviz rviz

   In rviz: a) Set Fixed Frame: base_footprint b) Add display for visualization_markers

3a) This is a temporary hack required to deal with a temporarily hardcoded path:

roscd sbpl_arm_planner
cp config/pr2.mprim /tmp

4. Plan for the PR2:

   roslaunch sbpl_arm_planner_test goal_pr2.launch

   If the plan was successful, you should see:

    1) Collision model of the robot
    2) Trajectory of the arm
    3) Tabletop (arm is moving around)
    4) Bounds of the environment
