在终端输入如下命令
// type in the terminator
mkdir -p smartcar_description/src
cd smartcar_description/src
// package name
catkin_create_pkg smartcar_description
cd smartcar_description
mkdir urdf launch
在urdf文件中添加smartcar.urdf 文件

在launch文件中添加base.urdf.rviz.launch文件
// type in the terminator
<launch>
<arg name="model" />
<arg name="gui" default="False" />
<param name="robot_description" textfile="$(find smartcar_description)/urdf/smartcar.urdf" />
<param name="use_gui" value="$(arg gui)"/>
<node name="joint_state_publisher" pkg="joint_state_publisher" type="joint_state_publisher" ></node>
<node name="robot_state_publisher" pkg="robot_state_publisher" type="state_publisher" />
<node name="rviz" pkg="rviz" type="rviz" args="-d $(find smartcar_description)/urdf.rviz" />
</launch>
编译并运行
catkin_make
source devel/setup.bash
roslaunch smartcar_description base.urdf.rviz.launch
注意:
<param name="robot_description" textfile="$(find smartcar_description)/urdf/smartcar.urdf" />
和
<param name="robot_description" command="$(find xacro)/xacro --inorder '$(find smartcar_description)/urdf/smartcar.urdf' "/>
具有同样的效果,但一般使用第二个。(注意:xacro.py已弃用,且使用 --inorder )
在urdf文件中添加robot1_base.xacro文件

在launch文件中添加
display_xacro.launch文件
<launch>
<arg name="model" />
<arg name="gui" default="False" />
<param name="robot_description" command="$(find xacro)/xacro --inorder '$(find smartcar_description)/urdf/robot1_base.xacro'" />
<param name="use_gui" value="$(arg gui)"/>
<node name="joint_state_publisher" pkg="joint_state_publisher" type="joint_state_publisher" ></node>
<node name="robot_state_publisher" pkg="robot_state_publisher" type="state_publisher" />
<node name="rviz" pkg="rviz" type="rviz" args="-d $(find urdf_tutorial)/urdf.rviz" />
</launch>
注意:
launch 文件中的package name “smartcar_description” 要与自己设置的package name 一致。
编译并运行
catkin_make
source devel/setup.bash
roslaunch smartcar_description display_xacro.launch
如果想显示joint_state_publisher对话框(通过对话框调节关节角度)type follow:
roslaunch smartcar_description display_xacro.launch gui:=true
注意:
<node name="rviz" pkg="rviz" type="rviz" args="-d $(find urdf_tutorial)/urdf.rviz" />
打开rviz并显示。(需要指定rviz配置文件,不指定不会出错,需要添加Add RobotModel并将其head选择为fixed frame)
如果没有上面一行,需要type in temrinal :
rosrun rviz rviz
特别注意:
对于浮动机座机器人来说,不要设置world无意义的连杆。下面代码不允许出现。
