I am currently using Fuerte with Gazebo 1.0 but I want to try MoveIt. What is the best way to do this? Use the groovy gazebo or use the standalone 1.9? Can ROS Groovy interact with 1.9? Is it also possible to use roslaunch and spawn in 1.5?
The most recent work for tying together Gazebo, ROS, and MoveIt! has been done with Gazebo 1.9, and ROS Hydro.
Here are a set of tutorials that describe the Gazebo+ROS integration: http://gazebosim.org/wiki/Tutorials#ROS_Integration
Having given it a go myself, it is possible. I installed ROS Hydro, Gazebo 1.9 and gazebo_pkgs, using 'quantal' source, though I think raring might work as well. I believe the most recent 1.9 build is essentially separate from ROS and so no longer supports groovy. I've been able to use MoveIt! to view and plan for a Fanuc robotic arm (not my work), but currently struggling a bit with connecting gazebo with Moveit!, though I believe this is due to the tutorials not being updated on MoveIt website
Hi Cdrwolfe, I am trying to do exactly what you are doing. Could you share with me the sources you refer to for using moveit! to view and plan for a fanuc robotic arm? another thing, in hydro, it seems that there is some problem with rviz, when clicking add, it will just crash. Do you have any solution to this? Thanks a lot

Hi Ijk, you can find the Fanuc moveit package from here: https://github.com/ros-industrial, look for fanuc_experimental for moveit package and fanuc for standard package
