@marioprats I found another issue with multi-DOF joints as I was second-guessing something in a unit test... so the PR grew in scope. Mind re-reviewing? Thanks! |

Ah good find. What's the guess here? It seems like it's possible that last_commanded_state_ might occasionally be plumbed through to smoothHalt? Just depending on timing. It's tough to replicate, but adding this change seems to #MakeItWork.

yep, I think it was that. When the robot returned to unpaused, it seems there were some states in which not sending a command caused it to go into smoothHalt and leap over to a stale last_commanded_state_.
This PR fixes a safety bug we found with MoveIt Servo, in which the velocity scaling override could cause the robot commands sent to exceed the robot's joint velocity limits. This was discovered because of bad IK solutions "teleporting" the robot in mock hardware.
This correctly takes the minimum scaling factor of the joint safety limits (which MUST be always met) and the override scaling factor, if one is specified.
I also ended up fixing another issue in which Servo was only working for joints with 1DOF, because we were making assumptions about only extracting the first variable from a potentially multi-DOF joint. It's also why the scaling factor unit test was ignoring the first joint, which is a virtual joint in the robot model and not even part of the
