Additional MoveIt Configuration

Change the controller in catkin_ws/src/panda_moveit_config/config/simple_moveit_controllers.yaml file. You can follow the step given here.

 1controller_list:
 2 - name: position_joint_trajectory_controller
 3   action_ns: follow_joint_trajectory
 4   type: FollowJointTrajectory
 5   default: True
 6   joints:
 7     - panda_joint1
 8     - panda_joint2
 9     - panda_joint3
10     - panda_joint4
11     - panda_joint5
12     - panda_joint6
13     - panda_joint7
14 - name: franka_gripper
15   action_ns: gripper_action
16   type: GripperCommand
17   default: True
18   joints:
19     - panda_finger_joint1

The controller name should match the controller spawers when you start your robot (Real or Simulation)

For Real Hardware: https://github.com/frankaemika/franka_ros/blob/a58d3052a241304392847df6464234c83d728a38/franka_control/launch/franka_control.launch#L22

Change from

<node name="state_controller_spawner" pkg="controller_manager" type="spawner" respawn="false" output="screen" args="franka_state_controller"/>

to

<node name="state_controller_spawner" pkg="controller_manager" type="spawner" respawn="false" output="screen" args="position_joint_trajectory_controller franka_state_controller"/>

For Simulation: https://github.com/frankaemika/franka_ros/blob/a58d3052a241304392847df6464234c83d728a38/franka_gazebo/launch/panda.launch#L14

Change from

<arg name="controller"  default=" "     doc="Which example controller should be started? (One of {cartesian_impedance,model,force,joint_position,joint_velocity}_example_controller)" />

to

<arg name="controller"  default="position_joint_trajectory_controller"     doc="Which example controller should be started? (One of {cartesian_impedance,model,force,joint_position,joint_velocity}_example_controller)" />

Add acceleration limits

To use pilz_industrial_motion planners we need to modify catkin_ws/src/panda_moveit_config/config/joint_limits.yaml file as shown bellow.

https://github.com/ros-planning/panda_moveit_config/blob/noetic-devel/config/joint_limits.yaml

 1joint_limits:

31        max_acceleration: 3.125
32    panda_joint5:

34        max_velocity: 2.61
35        has_acceleration_limits: true

45        has_acceleration_limits: true
46        max_acceleration: 5
