Robot Setup

Bring up the robot and position it at the edge of a table, facing the table. When manipulating objects on tables, the workspace of the arms is generally increased by raising the robot torso all the way up.

Place an object on the table, within reach of the robot, and point the head of the robot so that the narrow_stereo point cloud contains part of the table as well as the object. Also make sure that the arms of the robot are off to the side, so that they do not obstruct the robot's view of the table.

When you are done, the view of the robot and the narrow_stereo point cloud in rviz could look like this:

The point cloud from the narrow_stereo should look like this:

For a list of useful rviz markers to be monitored while running the manipulation pipeline see the Troubleshooting page.

Starting the Package

We will create a new package for our application, called pr2_pick_and_place_tutorial. This tutorial depends on four other packages, listed in the package creation command. 

roscreate-pkg pr2_pick_and_place_tutorial actionlib object_manipulation_msgs tabletop_object_detector tabletop_collision_map_processing

Writing the Code

We will be adding all the code below in a single source file, in the main function. First we will add the necessary #include directives and a stub for the main function. 

   1 #include <ros/ros.h>
   2 
   3 #include <actionlib/client/simple_action_client.h>
   4 #include <tabletop_object_detector/TabletopDetection.h>
   5 #include <tabletop_collision_map_processing/TabletopCollisionMapProcessing.h>
   6 #include <object_manipulation_msgs/PickupAction.h>
   7 #include <object_manipulation_msgs/PlaceAction.h>
   8 
   9 int main(int argc, char **argv)
  10 {
  11 }

All the code snippets below then get added, in order, to the main function. At the end of this tutorial you will find a complete snapshot of the source file with all the functionality added in.

Initialization of ROS Service and Action Clients

We will first initialize our ROS node and create the service and action clients we need. We need four clients:

We initialize all these clients like this: 

   1   //initialize the ROS node
   2   ros::init(argc, argv, "pick_and_place_app");
   3   ros::NodeHandle nh;
   4 
   5   //set service and action names
   6   const std::string OBJECT_DETECTION_SERVICE_NAME = 
   7     "/object_detection";
   8   const std::string COLLISION_PROCESSING_SERVICE_NAME = 
   9     "/tabletop_collision_map_processing/tabletop_collision_map_processing";
  10   const std::string PICKUP_ACTION_NAME = 
  11     "/object_manipulator/object_manipulator_pickup";
  12   const std::string PLACE_ACTION_NAME = 
  13     "/object_manipulator/object_manipulator_place";
  14 
  15   //create service and action clients
  16   ros::ServiceClient object_detection_srv;
  17   ros::ServiceClient collision_processing_srv;
  18   actionlib::SimpleActionClient<object_manipulation_msgs::PickupAction> 
  19     pickup_client(PICKUP_ACTION_NAME, true);
  20   actionlib::SimpleActionClient<object_manipulation_msgs::PlaceAction> 
  21     place_client(PLACE_ACTION_NAME, true);
  22 
  23   //wait for detection client
  24   while ( !ros::service::waitForService(OBJECT_DETECTION_SERVICE_NAME, 
  25                                         ros::Duration(2.0)) && nh.ok() ) 
  26   {
  27     ROS_INFO("Waiting for object detection service to come up");
  28   }
  29   if (!nh.ok()) exit(0);
  30   object_detection_srv = 
  31     nh.serviceClient<tabletop_object_detector::TabletopDetection>
  32     (OBJECT_DETECTION_SERVICE_NAME, true);
  33 
  34   //wait for collision map processing client
  35   while ( !ros::service::waitForService(COLLISION_PROCESSING_SERVICE_NAME, 
  36                                         ros::Duration(2.0)) && nh.ok() ) 
  37   {
  38     ROS_INFO("Waiting for collision processing service to come up");
  39   }
  40   if (!nh.ok()) exit(0);
  41   collision_processing_srv = 
  42     nh.serviceClient
  43     <tabletop_collision_map_processing::TabletopCollisionMapProcessing>
  44     (COLLISION_PROCESSING_SERVICE_NAME, true);
  45 
  46   //wait for pickup client
  47   while(!pickup_client.waitForServer(ros::Duration(2.0)) && nh.ok())
  48   {
  49     ROS_INFO_STREAM("Waiting for action client " << PICKUP_ACTION_NAME);
  50   }
  51   if (!nh.ok()) exit(0);  
  52 
  53   //wait for place client
  54   while(!place_client.waitForServer(ros::Duration(2.0)) && nh.ok())
  55   {
  56     ROS_INFO_STREAM("Waiting for action client " << PLACE_ACTION_NAME);
  57   }
  58   if (!nh.ok()) exit(0);

Object Detection

We will now call the tabletop_object_detector, using the TabletopDetection service: 

   1   //call the tabletop detection
   2   ROS_INFO("Calling tabletop detector");
   3   tabletop_object_detector::TabletopDetection detection_call;
   4   //we want recognized database objects returned
   5   //set this to false if you are using the pipeline without the database
   6   detection_call.request.return_clusters = true;
   7   //we want the individual object point clouds returned as well
   8   detection_call.request.return_models = true;
   9   if (!object_detection_srv.call(detection_call))
  10   {
  11     ROS_ERROR("Tabletop detection service failed");
  12     return -1;
  13   }
  14   if (detection_call.response.detection.result != 
  15       detection_call.response.detection.SUCCESS)
  16   {
  17     ROS_ERROR("Tabletop detection returned error code %d", 
  18               detection_call.response.detection.result);
  19     return -1;
  20   }
  21   if (detection_call.response.detection.clusters.empty() && 
  22       detection_call.response.detection.models.empty() )
  23   {
  24     ROS_ERROR("The tabletop detector detected the table, "
  25               "but found no objects");
  26     return -1;
  27   }

Note that we are asking for both recognized database objects and individual object point clouds for both known and unknown objects to be returned. If you have started the manipulation pipeline without using the database, simply set detection_call.request.return_models = false; in this service call. Objects will still be returned as unrecognized point clouds.

Collision Map Processing

Once we have the detection results, we will send them to the tabletop_collision_map_processing node. Here they will be added to the collision environment, and receive collision names that we can use to refer to them later. Note that the collision map processing service takes as part of the input the result of the detection service we just called. 

   1   //call collision map processing
   2   ROS_INFO("Calling collision map processing");
   3   tabletop_collision_map_processing::TabletopCollisionMapProcessing 
   4     processing_call;
   5   //pass the result of the tabletop detection 
   6   processing_call.request.detection_result = 
   7     detection_call.response.detection;
   8   //ask for the exising map and collision models to be reset
   9   processing_call.request.reset_static_map = true;
  10   processing_call.request.reset_collision_models = true;
  11   processing_call.request.reset_attached_models = true;
  12   //ask for a new static collision map to be taken with the laser
  13   //after the new models are added to the environment
  14   processing_call.request.take_static_collision_map = true;
  15   //ask for the results to be returned in base link frame
  16   processing_call.request.desired_frame = "base_link";
  17   if (!collision_processing_srv.call(processing_call))
  18   {
  19     ROS_ERROR("Collision map processing service failed");
  20     return -1;
  21   }
  22   //the collision map processor returns instances of graspable objects
  23   if (processing_call.response.graspable_objects.empty())
  24   {
  25     ROS_ERROR("Collision map processing returned no graspable objects");
  26     return -1;
  27   }

Note that we request any previous information about objects in the collision environment be reset before the new objects are added. We also ask for a new static collision map to be acquired with the tilting laser after our new objects are added to the environment. This will ensure both that our target objects are in the collision environment and that any other obstacles are captured by the collision map.

The TabletopCollisionMapProcessing service will return a list of GraspableObjects, which can be directly sent to a pickup action request, as shown below.

After the collision processing call goes through, you can inspect its result in rviz. Enable Markers on the following topics:

Here is an example of what your rviz image could look like, with the tabletop detection results shown in green and the collision map show in blue. Additional details and examples can be found in the tabletop_collision_map_processing package.

Object Pickup

We will now request a pickup of the first object in the list of GraspableObjects returned by the collision map processing service: 

   1   //call object pickup
   2   ROS_INFO("Calling the pickup action");
   3   object_manipulation_msgs::PickupGoal pickup_goal;
   4   //pass one of the graspable objects returned 
   5   //by the collision map processor
   6   pickup_goal.target = processing_call.response.graspable_objects.at(0);
   7   //pass the name that the object has in the collision environment
   8   //this name was also returned by the collision map processor
   9   pickup_goal.collision_object_name = 
  10     processing_call.response.collision_object_names.at(0);
  11   //pass the collision name of the table, also returned by the collision 
  12   //map processor
  13   pickup_goal.collision_support_surface_name = 
  14     processing_call.response.collision_support_surface_name;
  15   //pick up the object with the right arm
  16   pickup_goal.arm_name = "right_arm";
  17   //specify the desired distance between pre-grasp and final grasp
  18   pickup_goal.desired_approach_distance = 0.1;
  19   pickup_goal.min_approach_distance = 0.05;
  20   //we will be lifting the object along the "vertical" direction
  21   //which is along the z axis in the base_link frame
  22   geometry_msgs::Vector3Stamped direction;
  23   direction.header.stamp = ros::Time::now();
  24   direction.header.frame_id = "base_link";
  25   direction.vector.x = 0;
  26   direction.vector.y = 0;
  27   direction.vector.z = 1;
  28   pickup_goal.lift.direction = direction;
  29   //request a vertical lift of 10cm after grasping the object
  30   pickup_goal.lift.desired_distance = 0.1;
  31   pickup_goal.lift.min_distance = 0.05;
  32   //do not use tactile-based grasping or tactile-based lift
  33   pickup_goal.use_reactive_lift = false;
  34   pickup_goal.use_reactive_execution = false;
  35   //send the goal
  36   pickup_client.sendGoal(pickup_goal);
  37   while (!pickup_client.waitForResult(ros::Duration(10.0)))
  38   {
  39     ROS_INFO("Waiting for the pickup action...");
  40   }
  41   object_manipulation_msgs::PickupResult pickup_result = 
  42     *(pickup_client.getResult());
  43   if (pickup_client.getState() != actionlib::SimpleClientGoalState::SUCCEEDED)
  44   {
  45     ROS_ERROR("The pickup action has failed with result code %d", 
  46               pickup_result.manipulation_result.value);
  47     return -1;
  48   }

Note the following:

Object Location

Before placing the object, we must decide where we want the object placed. We will create a place location by shifting the pickup location by 10cm. However, it is important to understand the convention about the location of a doc/api/object_manipulation_msgs/html/msg/GraspableObject.html|GraspableObject]] in the world. This is particularly important since this is the pose that grasps for this object are relative to:

Here is how we shift the pickup location by 10cm to obtain our place location: 

   1   //remember where we picked the object up from
   2   geometry_msgs::PoseStamped pickup_location;
   3   if (processing_call.response.graspable_objects.at(0).type == 
   4       object_manipulation_msgs::GraspableObject::DATABASE_MODEL)
   5   {
   6     //for database recognized objects, the location of the object 
   7     //is encapsulated in GraspableObject the message
   8     pickup_location = 
   9       processing_call.response.graspable_objects.at(0).model_pose.pose;
  10   }
  11   else
  12   {
  13     //for unrecognized point clouds, the location of the object 
  14     //is considered to be the origin of the frame that the 
  15     //cluster is in
  16     pickup_location.header = 
  17       processing_call.response.graspable_objects.at(0).cluster.header;
  18     //identity pose
  19     pickup_location.pose.orientation.w = 1;
  20   }  
  21   //create a place location, offset by 10 cm from the pickup location
  22   geometry_msgs::PoseStamped place_location = pickup_location;
  23   place_location.header.stamp = ros::Time::now();
  24   place_location.pose.position.x += 0.1;

Object Place

Now that we have our desired place location, let's send it to the Place action: 

   1   //put the object down
   2   ROS_INFO("Calling the place action");
   3   object_manipulation_msgs::PlaceGoal place_goal;
   4   //place at the prepared location
   5   place_goal.place_pose = place_location;
   6   //the collision names of both the objects and the table
   7   //same as in the pickup action
   8   place_goal.collision_object_name = 
   9     processing_call.response.collision_object_names.at(0); 
  10   place_goal.collision_support_surface_name = 
  11     processing_call.response.collision_support_surface_name;
  12   //information about which grasp was executed on the object, 
  13   //returned by the pickup action
  14   place_goal.grasp = pickup_result.grasp;
  15   //use the right rm to place
  16   place_goal.arm_name = "right_arm";
  17   //padding used when determining if the requested place location
  18   //would bring the object in collision with the environment
  19   place_goal.place_padding = 0.02;
  20   //how much the gripper should retreat after placing the object
  21   place_goal.desired_retreat_distance = 0.1;
  22   place_goal.min_retreat_distance = 0.05;
  23   //we will be putting down the object along the "vertical" direction
  24   //which is along the z axis in the base_link frame
  25   direction.header.stamp = ros::Time::now();
  26   direction.header.frame_id = "base_link";
  27   direction.vector.x = 0;
  28   direction.vector.y = 0;
  29   direction.vector.z = -1;
  30   place_goal.approach.direction = direction;
  31   //request a vertical put down motion of 10cm before placing the object 
  32   place_goal.approach.desired_distance = 0.1;
  33   place_goal.approach.min_distance = 0.05;
  34   //we are not using tactile based placing
  35   place_goal.use_reactive_place = false;
  36   //send the goal
  37   place_client.sendGoal(place_goal);
  38   while (!place_client.waitForResult(ros::Duration(10.0)))
  39   {
  40     ROS_INFO("Waiting for the place action...");
  41   }
  42   object_manipulation_msgs::PlaceResult place_result = 
  43     *(place_client.getResult());
  44   if (place_client.getState() != 
  45       actionlib::SimpleClientGoalState::SUCCEEDED)
  46   {
  47     ROS_ERROR("Place failed with error code %d", 
  48               place_result.manipulation_result.value);
  49     return -1;
  50   }

Note the following:

Putting It All Together

After assembling the code above into your main function, you should end up with something resembling the complete file included below. Add the appropriate entry in your CMakeLists.txt to build this source file into an executable, then:

The robot should pick up the object, move it by 10cm, then place it back down.

Troubleshooting

You can find a list of useful rviz markers for monitoring pick and place operations on the troubleshooting page.

Next Steps

From here, you should be able to integrate pick and place functionality into your desired application. You can find more details in the individual documentation pages of the manipulation pipeline stacks:

Additional examples in both C++ and Python can be found in the pr2_pick_and_place_demos package.
