  11. Same as above but keeping glass at some height from ground

  Run

  Terminal 1: roslaunch moveit_task_constructor_demo demo11.launch
  

  Terminal 2: roslaunch moveit_task_constructor_demo pickplace11.launch
  

  12. Cleaned version of two panda arm pouring.

  Run

  Terminal 1: roslaunch moveit_task_constructor_demo demo12.launch
  

  Terminal 2: roslaunch moveit_task_constructor_demo pickplace12.launch
  

  13. Pick & Place using two panda arm for differnt object

  Terminal 2: roslaunch moveit_task_constructor_demo pickplace13.launch
  

  14. Pick & Place using two panda arm for same object

  Run

  Terminal 1: roslaunch moveit_task_constructor_demo demo14.launch
  

  Terminal 2: roslaunch moveit_task_constructor_demo pickplace14.launch
  

  15. Pick & Place for two panda arm using seperated tasks

  TODO

  Run

  Terminal 2: rosrun moveit_task_constructor_demo cartesian
  

  2. Same as above but with custom formating

  Run (Click to expand!)

  Terminal 1: roslaunch moveit_task_constructor_demo demo_cartesian2.launch
  

  Terminal 2: rosrun moveit_task_constructor_demo cartesian2
  

  3. Executing two task with differnt node name

  task execution not return problem -> resolved by using in built t.execute() and updating with recent PR #136

  Run

  Terminal 1: roslaunch moveit_task_constructor_demo demo3.launch
  

  Terminal 2: rosrun moveit_task_constructor_demo cartesian2

  Terminal 2: rosrun moveit_task_constructor_demo cartesian3
  

  4. Two arm panda executed simple different task

  (Cleaned) could plan but can execute -> resolved by commenting "capabilities" and "disable_capabilities" parameter in move_group.launch

  Run

  Terminal 1: roslaunch moveit_task_constructor_demo demo_cartesian4.launch
  

  Terminal 2: rosrun moveit_task_constructor_demo cartesian4
