Motion planning

Work in progress

A detailed description of motion planning is being prepared.

LWC uses MoveIt 2, the standard motion-planning framework for ROS 2.

Key concepts

  • Planning group (iiwa_arm) — the set of joints for which a plan is generated. Defined in SRDF.
  • Planner — the trajectory-generation algorithm. Available planners:
  • ompl — general-purpose probabilistic planner (default)
  • pilz_industrial_motion_planner — deterministic PTP, LIN, and CIRC trajectories
  • TCP (Tool Center Point) — the tool point for which the target pose is specified. Set in cobot-setting.yamlplanning.pose_link.
  • Reference frame — the coordinate system for targets. Default: base_link.

cobot-setting.yaml settings

Parameter Description
planning.default_planner Default planner: ompl or pilz_industrial_motion_planner
planning.planning_attempts Number of attempts after a planning failure
planning.pose_link TCP link for Cartesian targets
