Export model to URDF

Post by andrestoga »

Hi,

I wonder if there is a way to export a model from vrep to URDF? I tried to export it to collada and then use this tool: http://wiki.ros.org/collada_urdf from ROS to convert it to URDF but I'm getting errors... If not, I guess the only option will be do it by hand...

Best,

Hello,

there is currently no direct way of doing this. You can always do something similar as was done in the minimalisticExporter add-on: the source is located in the installation folder, in vrepAddOnFunc_minimalisticExporter.lua.

Hi andrestoga,

What did you ended up doing? I'm having the same issue and so built my own URDF from scratch.
