Hi,

In response to the service call MoveAlongJointPath, I get the error message: ipol_init returned error -10. stop_reason is empty.
Does it assume that joint_names are in a particular order?

this is probably caused by some weird combination of acceleration/velocity and/or via-point distances.

can you send us which path, verlocity and acceleration you commanded?

Thanks, I corrected the max-velocity and put some nominal values for max-acceleration and now it works as shown below.
But can you tell me where the max-acceleration values come from? The max-velocities are of course returned when the simulation is started.
Do we need to back-compute max-accelerations from the max-torques?

the max-acceleration per joint depends on the robots current state (position/configuration, velocity ...), the attached masses behind that joint and the max allowed joint-torque.

we didn't set a hard (always guaranteed) limit for the max acceleration per joint so that teams might be able to achieve high task-space accelerations by carefuly planning in the robots configuration space.

so, yes: if you want to know the max achievable acceleration you would have to compute it with the help of a dynamics model.

but each of the simulated LWR joints does atleast 600[deg/s^2] (without additional object-load).

by looking at the motion-generator code that returned "ipol_init error -10" i see that this message can only be achieved by specifying a max-acceleration of 0 or less.
