Problem Importing Collada Kinetmatics

[L-Dani]

Hello,

Is there a way to import a robot's kinematics from a .dae file? I successfully imported the geometry from collada files, but the import plug-in gives an error stating "Import failed" when using the kinematics file.

Is this a general problem or is it just the files I use?

Thank you very much in advance and best regards,

Daniel

Hello Daniel,

the Collada plugin currently only imports meshes and transformations. Kinematics and other data are ignored.

Okay, that's sad. Do you have any idea how I could successfully import the kinematics as well? Can I convert my files to another format that V-Rep can successfully read the kinematics from?

Currently, you can only import the kinematics via the URDF plugin.
But you could always write a small add-on that reads a file, then builds the kinematics appropriately.

Cheers
