# fake_joint [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/tork-a/fake_joint.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/tork-a/fake_joint) | ||
|
||
## What is this? | ||
|
||
This repositry contains the packages for simulating 'fake' (i.e. dummy | ||
or loop-back) joint driver for the | ||
[ros_control](https://github.com/ros-controls/ros_control) framework. | ||
|
||
## Why we need this? | ||
|
||
You may know MoveIt! has own controller manager and | ||
`moveit_fake_controller` to simulate the robot motion. However, the | ||
interface and code are different from `ros_control` framework. We have | ||
experienced our [jog_control](https://github.com/tork-a/jog_control) | ||
package doesn't work with moveit_fake_controller while it works fine | ||
with ros_control. One solution is to make 'fake' joint driver for | ||
ros_control and not to use moveit_fake_controller. | ||
|
||
You can simulate the joint controller using gazebo plugin. However, | ||
sometimes it is overkill for the purpose. Gazebo is rather CPU | ||
consuming for powerless PC or CI environments. And not all of the | ||
robot support gazebo model. | ||
|
||
When some problems occured, say in MoveIt!, it could be difficult to | ||
know whether the problem is from MoveIt! setting or joint controller | ||
parameters. `fake_joint` guarantees the controller works perfectly, | ||
means it simulates the precice motion as commended. This package | ||
eliminates the possibility of controller side in your debugging. | ||
|
||
## Quick start | ||
|
||
'fake_joint_launch' contains some launch and config files for several | ||
robots. You can easily try this package. They simulate real robot | ||
interface like joint trajectory action, so you can use MoveIt! on it. | ||
