MoveIt Setup Assistant tutorial: Spawn service timed out error about moveit_tutorials

[rhaschke]

The gazebo/plugin tag added by MSA misses the filename="libgazebo_ros_control.so" attribute.
This is fixed via moveit/moveit#3572.

Have you found a solution to this problem as I face the same?

The gazebo/plugin tag added by MSA misses the filename="libgazebo_ros_control.so" attribute. This is fixed via ros-planning/moveit#3572.

After Adding this missing filename, the robot spawns, but falls (ragdolls) on the ground.

How to fix this ?

[rhaschke]

Do you have ROS controllers activated? Which robot you use? The Panda robot stays upright as expected.

I followed the same steps as described above. I used the panda.urdf.xacro from the franka_description package. After generating the panda_movit_config package trough the assistant, I try to launch Rviz and Gazebo.

roslaunch panda_moveit_config demo_gazebo.launch

Before adding the missing filename the robot didn't spawn. (Parsing Error as described above)
After adding the filename and running the roslaunch command the robot ragdolls on the ground. The base link (panda_link0) isn't even connected with the ground.

I checked everything in Setup Assistant a dozen times already. I tried different settings, but still same outcome.

Running roslaunch panda_moveit_config demo_gazebo.launch works out-of-the-box with the existing panda_moveit_config package. There is no need to modify any files with MSA. If you made changes to the package, revert them and try again.

If you created panda_moveit_config from scratch following the MSA tutorial, you need to add a root link name world in order to fix the robot to the ground.
