Hi, is possible to change the robot initial configuration specifying the joint values?

I now have exactly the same problem. In my case the UR5 robot's 'home position' is defined as (0, -PI/2, 0, -PI/2, 0, 0). I have to initialize the SDF model in this home position, otherwise there will be collisions etc.

Would it be possible to add a <initial> tag to the SDF's <joint> tag, in order to specify the initial position?

I created a proposal to keep track of this feature request.

Hi, why don't you write a simple plugin and set the position of the joints during the load? In my opinion it may solve your problem

Copy&Paste from the proposal: "My proposal is to have a "<initial>" tag within <joint> that allows to spawn the model with this joint setting as initial value. Setting <initial> to a value != 0 would already alter the way the model is shown when adding it to a world, i.e. before it is registered to physics and before its plugin code is run. In other words the <initial> tag should in this regard behave exactly the same as if the joint's origin where shifted to the initial value."

Ok, I undestand what you proposed, but I tried to solve the problem. I mean, the feature is not implemented yet, therefore a workaround is needed at the moment. Obviously when the feature is available I do not see why he should not use it ;)
