ARE module failed to run with Gazebo for iCub

[omareldardear]

Bug description

I am trying to launch actionRenderingEngine module with Gazebo.
I get the following error:
......
[ERROR] |yarp.device.multipleanalogsensorsclient| Failure connecting port /actionsRenderingEngine/springy/left_hand/MAIS/rpc:i to /icubSim/left_hand/MAIS/rpc:o.
[ERROR] |yarp.device.multipleanalogsensorsclient| Check that the specified MultipleAnalogSensorsServer is up.
[ERROR] |yarp.dev.PolyDriver|multipleanalogsensorsclient| Driver was found but could not open
[ERROR] *** actionsRenderingEngine/springy: unable to connect to /icubSim/left_hand/MAIS
.....
[ERROR] |yarp.os.impl.ThreadImpl| A thread failed to start with error code: 0
[ERROR] ARE could not be initialized!

I use the standard process following the main template

Steps to reproduce

OS: Ubuntu 20.04
Superbuild: v2024.08.0
Gazebo 11
Using the following process

• $ yarpserver
• $ gazebo
• Placing iCub Model -> iCubGazeboV2_5 (no_hands)
• $yarprobotinterface --context gazeboCartesianControl --config no_legs.xml
• $ iKinCartesianSolver --context gazeboCartesianControl --part right_arm
• $ iKinCartesianSolver --context gazeboCartesianControl --part left_arm
• $ iKinGazeCtrl --context gazeboCartesianControl --from iKinGazeCtrl.ini
• $wholeBodyDynamics --robot icubSim --autoconnect --dummy_ft --headV2 --no_legs
• $actionsRenderingEngine --from gazebo/config.ini

Expected behavior

Hi @omareldardear !

we are aware that the 2024.08.0 contains a regression in the icub model that does not allow to use the hands correctly:

• iCubGazeboV2_5_visuomanip: migrate hand encoder arrays (i.e. MAIS) sensors to use multipleanalogsensorsserver and gazebo_yarp_robotinterface icub-models#240

We will ship the 2024.11.0 distro soon, that will incorporate that fix.

Moreover, I see that you are using the model without the hands, I am afraid that the hands are mandatory for using ARE.

The model with the hands is the one with the suffix visuomanip

Hi @Nicogene ,

Thank you for your reply.
Indeed, I tried with visuomanip model too and I got the same issue.
I will wait for the new release then.
