Gives the surface-coverage Behaviors something runnable to demonstrate them: two lab_sim demos for the snapshot Behavior, a lab_sim demo for the live one, and a grinding demo that traces the cylinder bores of an engine block while the tool works. The grinding demo runs the same registration subtree as Grind Machined Part, so it inherits that objective's headless timeout and is skipped in integration for the same reason.

needs: moveit_pro/#22344
Motivation
Gives the surface-coverage feature from PickNikRobotics/moveit_pro#22344 something runnable to demonstrate it. Without a shipped Objective, the only way to see coverage painted on a target is to hand-write the Behavior wiring.
Brief description
Four Objectives — two for the snapshot Behavior, two for the live one — plus the CI classification for the ones headless CI cannot answer.
lab_sim) — sweeps two patches of the bench in one run and accumulates the treated surface in the 3D view. Non-interactive, so CI runs it.lab_sim) — the operator picks the region withGetRegionFromUser, then the sweep is planned, executed, and recorded.lab_sim) — the same bench sweep throughAccumulateSurfaceCoverage, so the surface fills in while the tool moves rather than after it stops.grinding_sim) — a UR20 with a grinder traces the six cylinder bores of an engine block, recording where the tool actually went. This is the demo that matches what the feature is for: a registered part, a Cartesian tool path, and a treated band you can check against the geometry.The two snapshot Objectives capture the target with the wrist camera, crop to a region, fit an oriented bounding box, generate a coverage path, execute it as a Cartesian plan, and feed the executed tool poses to
RecordSurfaceCoverage. Feeding the result back throughprevious_coverageis what accumulates the two patches within a run. The two live Objectives instead open a session in the Runtime and let it sample the tool frame, so nothing has to be fed back at all.Both
lab_simsnapshot Objectives run underjoint_trajectory_controller, not the admittance controller the neighbouringselect_region_for_coverage_path.xmlactivates. The sweep travels at a 0.04 m standoff and never contacts the surface, so compliance is unused — while the admittance controller'sdefault_path_tolerance: 0.5(picknik_ur.ros2_control.yaml, set only in its block; plain JTC configures agoaltolerance and no path constraint) aborts the trajectory whenever tracking drifts. Measured onlab_sim: 3 aborted runs out of 5 under the admittance controller, then 3 successes out of 3 under plain JTC with the simulator still overrunning its 600 Hz loop at the same rate, which is what rules the overruns out as the cause.select_region_and_record_coverage.xmlalso takes up theLook at Tableviewing pose before prompting. Without it the operator drew on whatever view the previous run happened to leave behind, and the sweep was planned from an arbitrary configuration — the cause of thePlanCartesianPath"maximum allowed deviation exceeded" failures seen while testing.Notes for the reviewer
skip_objectives, for different reasons.Select Region and Record Coverage(src/lab_sim/test/objectives_integration_test.py) sits next to the existingSelect Region for Coverage Pathentry and for the same reason:GetRegionFromUserneeds a UI prompt headless CI cannot answer.Grind and Record Coverage(src/grinding_sim/test/objectives_integration_test.py) runs the same registration subtree asGrind Machined Part, which is already skipped there because the registration flow exceeds the fixture timeout headless — so it inherits that, not a new limitation.grinding_simis exercised by the weekly job, not the PR job.ci.yaml:302runs it onschedule/workflow_dispatchonly; the PR matrix at:249islab_simandhangar_sim. So the grinding demo will not be run by this PR's CI, and the skip entry above is what keeps the weekly run green.Select Region and Record Coverage's description was overstating what it does. It promised the history accumulates when you re-run it.ObjectiveServer::createTreeresets the tree and builds a fresh blackboard per execution, so{coverage_cloud}starts empty every run and nothing carries over; theForEachUntilSuccessaround the body runs once for a single drawn region, so theprevious_coveragechain never has a prior value to read either. The description and the code comment now say what actually happens. The Behavior that genuinely keeps history across runs isAccumulateSurfaceCoverage, because the Runtime owns the session — switching this demo to it would make the original claim true, but it would also change which Behavior the demo demonstrates, so it is left as a snapshot demo.scripts/check_objective_favorites.shcapslab_simat 8. Unfavoriting existing Objectives to make room would be an unrelated change.Record Surface Coverage Demois left in the CI suite deliberately. It callsGetPointCloudon/wrist_camera/pointstwice, and several existing entries inskip_objectivesare there because that topic times out on CI runners without a camera warmup delay. Rather than pre-emptively skipping it on suspicion, it runs — if it turns out to be flaky, the skip can be added then with evidence.How it was tested
Record Surface Coverage Demowas run end to end inlab_simagainst a MuJoCo backend: the Objective succeeded, both bench patches were painted green in the 3D view, the Surface Coverage layer appeared in the View menu, and the legend reported 2,240 treated points. The coverage stayed in place after the arm moved away, which is what recording in the robot model frame is for.Grind and Record Coveragewas run end to end ingrinding_sim, twice. The published cloud was decoded and checked against the block's geometry rather than eyeballed: 957 treated points, every one within 4 mm of the head's plane, distributed around all six bores at 0.043–0.075 m from each centre against a measured bore radius of 0.0444 m. The bore centres themselves were derived from the shipped mesh (six bores, 95.0 mm pitch, 88.9 mm diameter) rather than guessed, andregistered_posewas confirmed from TF to sit within 1 mm and 0.03° ofengine_block_pose, which is what lets mesh-derived coordinates be used for the tool path.Setting
treated_color="255;40;40"on that demo was not cosmetic:grinding_sim's captured part cloud is itself green, so the default green treated points were invisible against it. The legend swatch followed the change, which also confirms it reads the colour from the published cloud rather than hardcoding it.Release notes
