Understanding Robot Modeling using URDF

[@kevinhenningsen5453]

You and your colleagues at The Construct are doing an amazing work on teaching. Thank you Miguel, this Course was extremely helpful.

[@TheConstruct]

Thanks a lot for your comment Kevin!! Please share this information with your friends and colleagues.

[@kevinhenningsen5453]

Don't worry I shared it in the ROS Hong Kong group with +100 people on facebook 2 month ago. You sure got a couple of subscribers from that. Can we expect anytime soon the ROS perception and Manipulation course being available?

[@TheConstruct]

Thank you Kevin.
Yes, the two courses are going to appear on the 1st of August.

Thanks for the clear and in depth tutorial.. :)

Hi, can you explain how to make those urdf files for a SolidWorks Model?

[@TheConstruct]

You have to create the profile and then use the revolute tool to generate them. But sure there are many ways to do it

[@alexthunderrex]

You can do it with solidworks urdf-add,check it on github

[@SilverSurferFTW]

Great video thank you!

[@anilhuseyin]

Thanks a lot, it is great tutorial.

[@rosandrobotics2076]

Great

how can I convert a bot modeled in fusion 360 into URDF?

[@TheConstruct]

Sorry no idea

[@Balakrish-cl9kq]

I am learning to do URDF...I found that in explanation the RPY system is connected to the base but while mentioning the joints...it is defined in a different manner.. Could you explain?

[@TheConstruct]

We would need a bit more explanation on that question, but essentially we talk about RPY ( Roll pitch and YAw ) and XYZ / red green and blue arrows ).

[@rizwin9212]

how did you got that origin values?

[@TheConstruct]

The original values were extracted from videos where this robot was shown. Then taking pictures where it appears with people or object that we roughly know their size, it can give us a rough estimate of the dimensions.

i have a question about the video. I'm trying to model manipulator in gazebo by using dynamixel but i don't know how. If you dont mind can I have your email address.

I tell you the truth. I have no good code programming.
