I use following plugin for controlling joints. https://github.com/start-jsk/rtmrosgazebo/blob/master/hrpsysgazebo_general/src/IOBPlugin.cpp

I'm sending velocity command to joint by SetVelocity function, and trying to get joint torque by GetForce function, but return value of GetForce is always zero.

When I send torque command by SetForce function, I can get correct joint torque by GetForce.

I posted the question referred above, but hasn't received a response yet. Has anyone found a way around this problem?

SetVelocity bypasses physics (see the call to SetVelocityMaximal underneath), so forces were not computed based on target velocity. To do this in a physically realistic fashion, write a force based PID controller that takes velocity target as feedback, and GetForceTorque should give you more physically meaningful readings.

When I tested SetVelocity() with DefaultRobotSim, if you sent a command to a joint from Gazebo's Joints pane, non-zero force values would start being returned from there on for that particular joint, even if you stopped using the pane and started a ros_control controller. Why is this the case? My original question is here: http://answers.ros.org/question/201068/gazebo-joints-getforce-returns-zero-when-used-in-conjunction-with-setmaxforce-and-setvelocity/

GetForceTorque works well. Thank you!

Can you try using Joint::GetForceTorque?
