How to determine the joint positions for a particular arm configuration one desires in general way?

[Shawn Yan]

ros-by-example volume 2, 11.19 forward kinematics,

let's say, author who wrote the book, wants to demonstrate forward kinematics, he defined a configuration he desired for arm and read the joint positions. 

So, how to do that in a general and more effective way?

Hi Shawn,

I'm not sure what you are asking.  Can you please provide a couple of examples?  Do you mean you want to figure out the joint angles that produce a given pose of the end effector?

I want to make pi_robot can "write" HKU ,3 letters, in front of the robot( assume there is a wall in front of  it), simply by "show trail" checked. 

I refer to demo in 11.22.1 executing cartesian path, the main part of demo is showing how to use method compute_cartesian_path() and the pi_robot can write H now, though I have to modify the acceptable fraction from 1 to 0.95 (result fraction is 0.983)

when I try to make it write K, the path can't be planned.

How can I make it happen?

Hi Shawn,

It is possible that one or more points on the K are not reachable by the kinematics of the robot's arm.  I suggest manually moving the gripper through the desired points using the MoveIt demo mode first to make sure the arm can actually reach the desired points.

I want to let pi_robot "write" HKU, 3 letters in front of itself, "write" simply means "show trail" of right_gripper_link is checked.

I refer to the demos in 11.22.1 executing cartesian paths and partially complete the letter H (partial means the result fraction is not 1.0, I have to change the "fraction" in demo from 1.0 to 0.95 to make sure the planning succeeds, and the result fraction is 0.983 , then the real path H is deviated from the defined in the code)

How can I find a suitable path for writing HKU?

How can I visualize the reachable or dextrous workplace of the manipulator?

Manually, does it mean I drag the interactive point in demo mode? 

But it is not accurate at all.

How can I visualize the reachable or dextrous 3D workplace in demo mode?

Is there a functionality for teaching like what industrial robots do?

Hi Shawn,

Yes, drag in demo mode is what I meant.

As for your other two questions below, they would be very good questions for the MoveIt Google Group.
