Hi,

I am working with a project where I use the MoveGroupInterface for moving the Universal Robot. To use it you either have to load the robot description and the robot description semantic (as you already do in the ur_moveit_config.launch.py) into the node that will utilize the MoveGroupInterface, or you can pull it from the move_group automatically. The latter is better in my view but for this to work I need to instruct the move_group node to publish them. This would make it easier for people to use MoveGroupInterface with your driver.

Relevant resources:
moveit/moveit2_tutorials#525

This solution should work also in other branches other than galactic. For galactic to build tho, I had to update the .repos file setting the UR Description package to galactic instead of ros2.

…oup node to publish robot description and robot description semantic. These are needed for using the moveit interface.

Thank you for providing this @haavarpb. Since Galactic is EOL by now we're not going to add any new features to the galactic branch, though. Would you like to make this PR to main, as well? Otherwise I'll do that myself.

Hehe, I get you, no worries. I am just still stuck in the past for a little while longer ;-D

I can open a pull request for main also :-)

Closing this as galactic will no longer be changed.
