Task #223
openTask Group #191: [Dev] MoveIt Pro Application development
[Dev] Create a new MoveIt Pro configuration package for UR5e + Robotiq 2F-140 with Xela 2F tactile integration
90%
Description
This package is the runtime configuration layer for a UR5e + Robotiq 2F-140 cell in MoveIt Pro, with Xela 2F tactile visualization integrated as an optional operator path.
Operationally it binds three concerns in one package boundary:
- MoveIt Pro robot/application configuration (`config/config.yaml`, URDF/SRDF, ros2_control profile)
- gripper operation objectives for Robotiq action interface
- tactile visualization orchestration (`xela_server2_2f` + `std_xela_taxel_viz_2f` + optional web sidecar)
--------------------
ur5e_x2f_140_config3¶
1. Overview and design objective¶
The design separates mission-critical robot runtime from operator-facing tactile visualization while keeping a single launch entrypoint for deployment.
Key intent:
- keep MoveIt Pro config semantics aligned with
ur5e_x2f_140_common - avoid coupling motion control logic to web-side visualization concerns
- make tactile visualization chain optional but first-class (
xela_driver.launch.py)
Architecturally, this package acts as an orchestration shell: core control/planning definitions stay in config assets, and tactile stack composition is handled in launch space with explicit argument pass-through.
2. Architecture¶
Generated PNG: docs/architecture_overview.png
2.1 MoveIt Pro runtime layer¶
- Base package:
ur5e_x2f_140_common - Overrides in
config/config.yaml - ros2_control profile in
config/control/ur5e_x2f_140.ros2_control.yaml - custom objectives layered on top of common objectives
- no package-local waypoint file; waypoint resolution stays with the base package behavior
2.2 Tactile visualization layer¶
launch/xela_driver.launch.py composes:
xela_server_nosudo.launch.py(optional CAN setup, Xela websocket process, websocket wait gate, thenxela_server2_2f)std_xela_taxel_viz_2f.launch.py(frame_id:=world,overlay_grid_in_urdf:=false)xela_taxel_sidecar_2f/xela_taxel_sidecar_cpp.launch.py(optional, namespaced TF integration)
2.3 Agent bridge wrapper¶
launch/agent_bridge.launch.xmlincludes:moveit_studio_agent/launch/studio_agent_bridge.launch.xmlur5e_x2f_140_config3/launch/xela_driver.launch.py
- this keeps tactile visualization additive to the MoveIt Pro runtime path
3. Parameter flow¶
- user-facing arguments are defined at
xela_driver.launch.py - server/network args go to
xela_server_nosudo.launch.py - viz args go to
std_xela_taxel_viz_2f - sidecar args go to
xela_taxel_sidecar_2f - sidecar integration pins
bridge_tf_topic=/xviz2f/tf,bridge_tf_static_topic=/xviz2f/tf_static,viz_node_name=/xviz2f/std_xela_taxel_viz_2f,freeze_urdf_positions=false
4. Controller design¶
- startup-active controllers favor monitoring + servo/gripper operation.
- trajectory/admittance/velocity-force controllers are loaded but inactive by default.
- tactile joint-state publisher is active at startup.
5. Operational design choices¶
- sidecar mode manager is separate from std viz node.
- web/rosbridge ports are explicit launch arguments.
- simulation-first defaults reduce bringup risk in development.
- real-hardware cutover points remain explicit in
config/config.yamland the CAN setup path
6. Risks¶
- real/sim parameter mismatch
- CAN setup dependency when
setup_can=true - sidecar/viz mode mismatch if service calls fail
7. Recommended validation¶
- static:
config/config.yamland ros2_control name consistency - runtime: launch chain start, topic presence, sidecar mode switch
- wrapper:
agent_bridge.launch.xmlstarts both included launch files without path errors
