Hi, I would like to know which one would be the best controller to get max speed and smooth trajectory XArm servoing example to follow aruco marker?

@Akumar201 Sorry, I haven't compared different controllers, so I don't know which controller is more suitable for your scene.

Hi, I was reading github issue https://github.com/xArm-Developer/xarm_ros2/issues/2 where it's suggested to not use velocity control, is it working fine now with servoing?

@Akumar201 You can try to use, if this mode can meet your needs.
