Sorry one last thing came to mind. I don't think we should restrict the planning_pipelines to just ompl. If we remove this entry, the builder will load default configs for ompl, stomp, chompand pilz which would be nicer for users to play around with in the rviz palnning panel.

Just a quick question, I removed the lines here:

Screenshot from 2024-01-03 12-57-20

But I was getting this error without adding a pilz_cartesian_limits.yaml file to the moveit_config package:

[ERROR] [launch]: Caught exception in launch (see debug for traceback): "File /opt/robotic_platform/install/abb_irb1200_5_90_moveit_config/share/abb_irb1200_5_90_moveit_config/config/pilz_cartesian_limits.yaml doesn't exist"

So I added this to the abb_irb1200_5_90_moveit_config package in the config directory:

cartesian_limits:
  max_trans_vel: 1.0
  max_trans_acc: 2.25
  max_trans_dec: -5.0
  max_rot_vel: 1.57

But even with this, If you select the pilz planner it doesn't seem to successfully plan a path. The other planners I see available are ompl, and CHOMP and they can both successfully plan a path.

Not sure how you would like me to proceed.

I think the problem is because the pilz_indsutrial_motion_planner is loaded based on the deafult config file in moveit_config_utils but there isn't a default pilz_cartesian_limits.yaml file. Hence you had to manually include on in the config folder here. I think if you use moveit_setup_assistant, it does generate this file in the local config.
Perhaps you can open an issue ticket in upstream moveit to include a default pilz_cartesian_limits.yaml file in moveit_config_utils?

But even with this, If you select the pilz planner it doesn't seem to successfully plan a path. The other planners I see available are ompl, and CHOMP and they can both successfully plan a path.

I think this is because we have not set any acceleration limits in the joint_limits.yaml file which are needed by the planner. You should be seeing a message printout indicating this

[move_group-1] [INFO] [1704356296.402945412] [moveit_move_group_capabilities_base.move_group_capability]: Using planning pipeline 'pilz_industrial_motion_planner'
[move_group-1] [ERROR] [1704356296.402995752] [moveit.ros_planning.planning_pipeline]: Exception caught: 'acceleration limit not set for group manipulator'

If you edit the joint_limits.yaml file by setting has_acceleration_limts: true for each joint a specify some max_acceleration like 5.0, you should be apply to plan PTP motions with pilz_industrial_motion_planner.

I think it's best to leave the acceleration limits as false for now until someone can share accurate values for this specific robot.

This behavior was lost in the changes as by default, moveit_manage_controllers is set to True by the builder. I'll open a PR to update.
