MoveGroup - ROS Wrappers in C++
The simplest way to use MoveIt through scripting is using the move_group_interface. This interface is ideal for beginners and provides unified access to many of the features of MoveIt.
Using MoveIt Directly Through the C++ API
Building more complex applications with MoveIt often requires developers to dig into MoveIt’s C++ API. As an added plus, using the C++ API directly skips many of the ROS Service/Action layers resulting in significantly faster performance.

Using MoveIt Directly Through the Python API
The MoveIt Python API binds a subset of the C++ API. The Python API is useful for rapid prototyping and experimentation, or if you already are working within a Python development environment.
Integration with a New Robot
Before attempting to integrate a new robot with MoveIt 2, check whether your robot has already been set up (see the list of robots running MoveIt). Otherwise, follow the tutorials in this section to integrate your robot with MoveIt.
