Thank you for your contribution! I'll have a look at this hopefully soon. |

This PR extends the
ur_robot_driverpackage with a hardware interface for sending motion primitives to the robot via the Instruction Executor instead of traditional trajectory execution.To reuse the state interface functionalities of the original hardware interface in the new
motion_primitive_ur_driver, these functionalities have been refactored into a shared helper file:stateinterface_helper.hpp.The implementation uses the
motion_primitives_forward_controller, which is planned to be integrated into theros2_controllersrepository. (ros-controls/ros2_controllers#1636)Motion primitives are received by the controller using the
MotionPrimitive.msgfrom theindustrial_robot_motion_interfacespackage. A modified version of this message is used here, which includes additional helper types:STOP_MOTION: Interrupts current robot motion and clears the motion queue.MOTION_SEQUENCE_STARTandMOTION_SEQUENCE_END: Define a sequence block—primitives between these markers are grouped and executed as a single, blended motion sequence. This enables smooth transitions between individual primitives, unlike executing them one by one.This implementation also depends on a pending Pull Request in the
Universal_Robots_Client_Library. This PR extends the Instruction Executor with support formoveccommands, which is required for executing circular Cartesian motions within this driver.I'd appreciate any feedback or suggestions – thanks in advance!
