STOMP MoveIt! Setup

Create the Pipeline Launch File

First, you must already have a moveit_config package that was generated with the MoveIt! Setup Assistant . Once this package is available you can tell the move_group node to load STOMP by creating a stomp_planning_pipeline.launch.xml file as follows:

<launch>

  <!-- Stomp Plugin for MoveIt! -->
  <arg name="planning_plugin" value="stomp_moveit_interface/StompPlannerManager" />

  <!-- The request adapters (plugins) ORDER MATTERS -->
  <arg name="planning_adapters" value="default_planner_request_adapters/FixWorkspaceBounds
                                       default_planner_request_adapters/FixStartStateBounds
                                       default_planner_request_adapters/FixStartStateCollision
                                       default_planner_request_adapters/FixStartStatePathConstraints" />

  <arg name="start_state_max_bounds_error" value="0.1" />

  <param name="planning_plugin" value="$(arg planning_plugin)" />
  <param name="request_adapters" value="$(arg planning_adapters)" />
  <param name="start_state_max_bounds_error" value="$(arg start_state_max_bounds_error)" />
  <rosparam command="load" file="$(find test_moveit_config)/config/stomp_planning.yaml"/>

</launch>

• Take notice of how the pluginlib parameters is set to stomp_moveit_interface/StompPlannerManager in order to tell the move_group node to load STOMP into MoveIt!
• The STOMP planner is then configured from the yaml file as shown in the line below:

      <rosparam command="load" file="$(find test_moveit_config)/config/stomp_planning.yaml"/>
  

Modify the move_group.launch file

Open the move_group.launch file of your moveit_config package and change the pipeline parameter to "stomp" as shown below:

      . 
      .
      .
    <!-- Planning Functionality --> 
    <include ns="move_group" file="$(test_moveit_config)/launch/planning_pipeline.launch.xml">
      <arg name="pipeline" value="stomp" />
    </include>
      . 
      .
