The docstring from the init method from JointLimiterInterface is a bit inaccurate. In particular: /** * Wrapper init method that accepts the joint names and their limits directly */ ... virtual bool init( const std::vector<std::string> & joint_names, const std::vector<joint_limits::JointLimits> & joint_limits, const std::vector<joint_limits::SoftJointLimits> & soft_joint_limits, const rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeParametersInterface::SharedPtr & param_itf, const rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeLoggingInterface::SharedPtr & logging_itf) .... This overload also takes soft_joint_limits, not just names and limits as mentioned in the docstring. For instance: /** * Wrapper init method that accepts the joint names, their limits directly, and the soft joint limits. */
