[ompl-users] OMPL

[Oliver D. <o.d...@ja...>]

Hey guys!

I am interested in potentially using OMPL for some robotic
planning/manipulation tasks. Currently, we use use a ROS + openrave setup,
but would like to experiment with a ROS + OMPL setup.
Of course this would mean having to use/implement lots of the ROS
manipulation pipeline.

I see that the ompl_ros_interface package is upcoming for a release. Do you
have a rough estimate / time line as to when it will be available?
For now I am looking at the new interface through the
rosinstall<http://www.ros.org/wiki/ompl/diamondback?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=ompl_new_api.trunk>file
provided (currently ompl_ros_interface will not compile due to
mismatching function calls).

The rigid body planning tutorials are pretty cool! Are there any plans to
expand the tutorials, eg to include some with a manipulation planning
orientated direction?

Thanks:)

-Ollie
