We can store regular poses for the arm group in order to set this poses in the future. We will select "Robot Poses" in the menu of the left side of the window and we will click on "Add Pose". We will write '''home''' in the field "Pose Name" and we will select '''brazo''' in the field "Planning Group". We can modify the position of each joint using the slider. The procedure is shown in the next pictures:

Podemos establecer posiciones predefinidas para el brazo y así poder reutilizarlas. En el menú de la izquierda seleccionaremos "Robot Poses" y pincharemos en "Add Pose". En el campo "Pose Name" escribiremos '''home''' y en el campo "Planning Group" seleccionaremos '''brazo'''. Con los cursores podemos modificar la posición de cada articulación para establecer la posición deseada, como se muestra en la siguiente imagen:

Previous steps

Installation of moveIt!

MoveIt! is a package that provides a software tool for all types of manipulation tasks both industrial level and domestic level. It is available for the ROS distributions groovy and hydro, for this reason we must have installed some of these. We will execute the next command in a terminal in order to install moveIt!, where "ROS_DISTRIBUCION" is our installed distribution:

sudo apt-get install ros-ROS_DISTRIBUCION-moveit-full

Modification of MYRAbot model for moveIt!

New URDF of the arm

We need to modify the type of the gazebo controllers of the arm's joints in order to allow to moveIt! to take the control of these. Also we have added the 3D meshes of the real components of the arm. We will create a file named "brazo-macros_moveit.xacro" within the folder "urdf" of the package "brazo_fer_modelo" with the content that is shown below:

New URDF for xtion camera and frame

We have added a frame to MYRAbot in order to place the new asus Xtion PRO LIVE camera which replaces the previous webcam. We will add the next code lines to the file "estructura-myrabot.xacro" placed within the folder "urdf" of the package "myrabot_fer_modelo" in order to add the camera frame:

Configuration of MYRAbot in moveIt!

Setup assistant

We will execute the next command in a terminal in order to start the setup assistant of moveIt!:

roslaunch moveit_setup_assistant setup_assistant.launch

We can choose between "Create New MoveIt Configuration Package" or "Edit existing MoveIt Configuration Package" in the assistant window that is shown below:

MoveIt! setup asistant start window
Click on "Create New MoveIt Configuration Package" >

Select the URDF file of the MYRAbot model clicking on "Browse" >
Creation of New moveIt! Configuration Package window

We will click on "Load Files" in order to load our robot model in the moveIt! setup assistant. When the load process ends, we can see in the right side of the window the robot model. This is shown in the next picture:

MoveIt! setup assistant load model window

Now, we will select "Self-Collision" in the menu of the left side of the window and we will click on "Regenerate Default Collision Mtrix" in order to calculate the collision matrix of our model. The result is shown in the next picture:

MoveIt! setup assistant Self-Collision window

We will select "Virtual Joints" in the menu of the left side of the window and we will click on "Add Virtual Joint". We will write virtual_joint in the field "Virtual Joint Name", we will select the link base_footprint in the field "Child_Link", we will write odom in the field "Parent Frame Name" and we will write planar in the field. The procedure is shown in the next pictures:

MoveIt! setup assistant "Add Virtual Joint" window
Click on "Save" to add the "Virtual Joint">
MoveIt! setup assistant "Virtual Joints" window

We will select "Planning Groups" in the menu of the left side of the window and we will click on "Add Group". We will write brazo in the field "Group Name", we will select kdl_kinematics_plugin/KDLKinematicsPlugin in the field "Kinematic Solver" and we will leave the rest of fields with the default value. The procedure is shown in the next pictures:
