CHANGELOG

0.x - UNRELEASED

  • Fix: Allow interactive marker server to shut down if not initialized
  • Add realistic hand/finger collision geometries to the Gazebo robot description
  • Add joint_state_desired publisher to franka_gazebo
  • No further ROS Kinetic support, since End-of-Life was in April 2021
  • Make position + orientation targets threadsafe in cartesian example controller
  • Add singularity warning to franka_gazebo if Jacobian becomes singular
  • BREAKING Make /panda namespace of franka_gazebo optional
  • Add effort joint trajectory controller to be used by MoveIT

0.8.1 - 2021-09-08

Requires libfranka >= 0.8.0

  • franka_hw:
    • Add bool hasError() member function to FrankaCombinableHW
    • Only execute controller update in franka_combined_control_node when not in error state
    • Reset command buffer upon recover in FrankaCombinableHW

0.8.0 - 2021-08-03

Requires libfranka >= 0.8.0

  • franka_hw, franka_combinable_hw, franka_combined_hw: Added service interface to disconnect and reconnect when no controller is active. This allows mixing FCI- and DESK-based application without stopping the according hardware nodes.
  • BREAKING franka_hw, franka_combinable_hw method control() now is non-const to allow locking a mutex member variable.
  • BREAKING Change behavior of franka_msgs/SetEEFrame. Previously, this method would set the flange-to-end-effector transformation F_T_EE. This has been split up into two transformations: F_T_NE, only settable in Desk, and NE_T_EE, which can be set in franka_ros with SetEEFrame and defaults to the identity transformation.
  • Add F_T_NE and NE_T_EE to franka_msgs/FrankaState.
  • Franka Gazebo Integration: Now you can simulate Panda robots in Gazebo including:
    • gravity compensation
    • non-realtime commands like setEEFrame or setLoad
    • gripper simulation with the same action interface as franka_gripper
    • estimated inertias in the URDF
    • no need to change existing ROS controllers
    • only torque control supported in this version
  • Extract Model Library in abstract base class interface. This allows users to implement their own model.
  • BREAKING Remove panda_arm_hand.urdf.xacro. Use panda_arm.urdf.xacro hand:=true instead.

0.7.1 - 2020-10-22

Requires libfranka >= 0.7.0

  • franka_example_controllers: Added example for dual-arm teleoperation based on franka_combinable_hw.
  • franka_gripper: Made stopping on shutdown optional.
  • franka_hw: Added franka_control_services install instruction.

0.7.0 - 2020-07-15

Requires libfranka >= 0.7.0

  • BREAKING moved services and action from franka_control to franka_msgs.
  • BREAKING moved Service container from franka_control to franka_hw.
  • franka_example_controllers: Added example for dual-arm control based on franka_combinable_hw.
  • franka_description :
    • Added an example urdf with two panda arms.
    • BREAKING Updated collision volumes.
    • Removed invalid axis for joint8.
  • franka_hw:
    • Added hardware classes to support torque-controlling multiple robots from one controller.
    • Refactored FrankaHW class to serve as base class (e.g. for FrankaCombinableHW).
    • Added joint limits checking to FrankaHW which means parameterized warning prints when approaching limits.
    • Made initial collision behavior a parameter.
    • Added default constructor and init method to FrankaHW.
    • BREAKING moved parsing of parameters from control node to FrankaHW::init.
    • BREAKING made libfranka robot a member of FrankaHW.
    • Added missing return value to franka::ControllerMode stream operator function.
  • franka_control:
    • Added control node that can runs a FrankaCombinedHW to control mulitple Pandas.
    • Publish whole libfranka franka::RobotState in franka_state_controller.
  • franka_example_controllers:
    • Cartesian impedance example controller: Interpolate desired orientations with slerp and change orientation error to quaternion.
  • BREAKING Moved panda_moveit_config to ros-planning.
  • Added support for ROS Melodic Morenia.
  • Raised minimum CMake version to 3.4 to match libfranka.
  • Add rosparam to choose value of franka::RealtimeConfig.
  • Fix unused parameter bugs in FrankaModelHandle (#78).
  • Added (experimental) support for ROS Noetic Ninjemys.
