I am implementing a simple robot behavior where the robot represented as a box picks an object and drops it at a goal location. However, when the robot reaches the object location to pick it, it doesn't pick it.

A simplified version of the task has been attached mp_pick_drop.cc

All it does is to attach the m_litter to this->model and change the pose of the robot. This doesn't work, as the box just stays frozen at initialized pose. Please what am I getting wrong?

I am using gazebo 7

my robot model is a simple box.Robot sdf robot

object to pick (m_litter) is also a simple red box.object sdf object

The world is world sdf world

Many thanks in advance. The complete plugin source code is ModelPlugin source file

Can you change <static>0</static> to <static>1</static> in the m_litter sdf model?

Can you change `<static>0</static>` to `<static>1</static>` in the m_litter sdf model?

Can you change the static value from 0 to 1 in the m_litter sdf model?

I set static element to <static>1</static> and it still didn't solve the problem. gazebo -v returns version 7.4.0

Your "OnUpdate" function is called every cycle of simulation. It would be better to call AttachStaticModel only once. This probably won't fix your problem.

Yes it is Static. I also added a code to set it from the source file if by any chance the model is not static. I used m_litter->SetStatic(true), and verified with m_litter->IsStatic(). I added a link to the full plugin code. I will try to attach an image of the source code also.

Can you post your SDF file(s), and also let us know what version of gazebo you are using?

Yes. I am doing that now... I am using gazebo7 In the image uploaded, the object is set as not static, but I have tried it with <static>1</static> already and the problem still persists.

Hi, am having the same issue - trying to attach a static model to a non static. I have the correct parameters - not sure what is wrong (there are nor errors thrown). In fact, if you use the function correctly with a NON static model, you will get the error "[Err] [Model.cc:1310] AttachStaticModel requires a static model" ....
