Regarding suitability of Moveit! for university project.

[Jajoo, Malhar]

Hi everyone,

My Background:

I am currently working on a project that involves 2-3 external stereo cameras and a Parrot AR drone.

I wish to use the pair/trio of cameras for providing the 3D coordinate (using triangulation) and also 3D map

and then plan a path, avoiding static obstacles, for the Parrot AR drone.

I am using a combination of ROS and openCV (separate from ROS) to achieve triangulation and PID control (using simple C++).

My Question: Would Moveit! be suitable for this purpose ? Most examples I have seen including this by Wilselby (https://www.wilselby.com/research/ros-integration/3d-mapping-navigation/), use Kinect cameras and in this example

it is mounted on the drone.

I would also like to point out that the AR drone is not among the list of robots for which a moveit_config package

is provided.

My project may be turn out to be quite different from above scenario and hence I would like to know

the people's opinion and advice. 

Thank you very much,

Malhar
