Run a Robot Path¶
In this exercise, we will convert our Descartes path into a MoveIt! trajectory and then send it to the robot.
Locate Exercise Source File¶
Go to the main application source file located in
plan_and_run/src/plan_and_run_node.cpp
.In the main program, locate the function call to
application.runPath()
.Go to the source file for that function located in the
plan_and_run/src/tasks/run_path.cpp
.Alternatively, in QTCreator, click on any part of the function and press “F2” to bring up that file.
Comment out the first line containing the
ROS_ERROR_STREAM( ...
entry so that the function does not quit immediately.
Complete Code¶
Find comment block that starts with
/* Fill Code:

Build Code and Run¶
cd
into your catkin workspace and runcatkin build
Then run the application launch file:
roslaunch plan_and_run demo_run.launch
