Instead, support for running MoveIt 2 (the successor to MoveIt) on Stretch hardware is being developed in [Stretch's ROS2 packages](https://github.com/hello-robot/stretch_ros2/). The primary reason to support MoveIt 2 instead of MoveIt 1 is because MoveIt 2 introduces planning for differential drive bases, whereas MoveIt 1 does not have this ability. Manipulation with Stretch is more capable when the mobile base is included. - roslaunch stretch_moveit_config move_group.launch - -This will runs all of the planning capabilities, but without the setup, simulation and interface that the above demo provides.
