 desc << EOM  
`joint_trajectory_generator` action takes in a trajectory specified by a number of joint positions, and it generates a new smooth trajectory through these joint positions. The smooth trajectory is created by limiting the joint velocity and acceleration to specified maximal values. The generated trajectory can have a longer duration than the input trajectory if the input trajectory could only be executed with joint velocities and accelerations that exceed the specified maximal values. The generated trajectory will however never have a shorter duration than the input trajectory.
<<BR>> <<BR>>
The action sends its output to the [[joint_trajectory_action]], to execute the smooth trajectory it generated.
