@martinaxgloria if you are working on iCubGenova11, can you report here:

• The ports on which iCubGenova11 is publishing mais data
• An exert of data published there (just saving a few lines of yarp read ... /name/of/the/port and reporting them here is enough, thanks)

[traversaro]

@martinaxgloria can you also report here the patch you have been working with? Thanks!

@martinaxgloria can you also report here the patch you have been working with? Thanks!

I'm using the iCubGazeboV2_5_visuomanip model. The patch regards these two files:

• https://github.com/robotology/icub-models/blob/master/iCub_manual/conf_manual/iCubGazeboV2_5_visuomanip/gazebo_icub_left_hand_mais.ini
• https://github.com/robotology/icub-models/blob/master/iCub_manual/conf_manual/iCubGazeboV2_5_visuomanip/gazebo_icub_right_hand_mais.ini

In particular, I changed name and device under the [WRAPPER] group into:

• name: /icubSim/*_hand/MAIS
• device: multipleanalogsensorsserver

Here the two files:

Here you are the output of /icub/left_hand/MAIS/measures:o:

Ah sorry, this does not give us the metadata that I am interested in. Can you call the rpc port that starts with /icub/left_hand/MAIS and call getMetadata on it? Thanks!

[martinaxgloria]

Yes, sure. Here you are:

[traversaro]

Thanks! The revealed another bug (the names between left and right sensors is the same, creating problems if one wanted to insert the two sensors in the same remapper), but that is another story.

Reported in https://github.com/robotology/robots-configuration/issues/679 .

[traversaro]

The fixes are provided in:

• https://github.com/robotology/gazebo-yarp-plugins/pull/688
• https://github.com/robotology/icub-models/pull/240

@martinaxgloria could you test these PRs and check:

• If it solves your problem
• If data is streamed correctly on the /icubSim/left_hand/MAIS/measures:o port?

Thanks!

[martinaxgloria]

Hi @traversaro, thanks for the fixes!

I noticed that you named the MAIS port /icub/*_hand/MAIS and not /icubSim/*_hand/MAIS. Is it wanted?

[traversaro]

Hi @traversaro, thanks for the fixes!

I noticed that you named the MAIS port /icub/*_hand/MAIS and not /icubSim/*_hand/MAIS. Is it wanted?

No, it was a copy&paste error as I copied the file from the real world config files, fixed in https://github.com/robotology/icub-models/pull/240/commits/a33dd641ce8f3b14f54d225da99e513973907d12 .

Great, thanks! I will merge and release all repos then.

[pattacini]

Thanks heaps @traversaro!

[traversaro]

@martinaxgloria the fixed version are now available in master branch of both gazebo-yarp-plugins and icub-models, and released in v4.12.0 and v2.8.0 (respectively). Updated conda binary packages will be available in around an hour (the time for the automatic process to start and end.

[martinaxgloria]

Thanks a lot @traversaro!

[traversaro]

(I just aligned devel of gazebo-yarp-plugins and icub-models with master branches).
