Hello

I try to connect the moveit panda arm demo to the model I generate with setup assistant of moveit. To launch the panda arm in rviz I launch :

roslaunch panda_moveit_config demo.launch

Rviz run properly, the I use the model I generate with setup assistante in gazebo: In one terminal I run: roslaunch gazeboros emptyworld.launch paused:=true usesimtime:=false gui:=true throttled:=false recording:=false debug:=true

In other:

rosrun gazebo_ros spawn_model -file ./panda_arm.gazebo -urdf -x 0 -y 0 -z 1 -model panda

The arm is properly display but its position doesn't math with the rviz robot position. And when I plan trajectory in rviz, the arm is not moving in gazebo.

Here is the result:

Here is the modified demo.launch

  <!--
  By default, hide joint_state_publisher's GUI

  MoveIt!'s "demo" mode replaces the real robot driver with the joint_state_publisher.
  The latter one maintains and publishes the current joint configuration of the simulated robot.
  It also provides a GUI to move the simulated robot around "manually".
  This corresponds to moving around the real robot without the use of MoveIt.
