URDF for Robot Modeling in ROS 2 Course - Python
Understanding robot modeling using URDF in ROS 2
Course Summary
As human beings, we learn from a very young age about our body’s structure: which bones and muscles are part of it, how they are connected between them, how we can move each articulation, etc.
For a robot, though, how can we know all this information? Well, this is exactly what URDF files are going to tell us. URDF files define the structure of a robot, the connection between all the different parts, etc.
In this course, you will understand how URDF files work and how to create them for any robot.
What you will learn
- How to build a visual robot model with URDF.
- How to add physical properties to a URDF Model (Collision, Frictions…).
- How to use XACRO to clean up URDF files.
- How to use URDF in Gazebo Sim - ROS 2 ecosystem.
- How to use URDF-XACRO in ROS 2 systems.
