The Mobile Robot URDF Maker is an open-source tool designed to simplify the creation of Unified Robot Description Format (URDF) files for mobile robots. This Python-based wizard enables users to generate URDF files tailored to various robot configurations without manual coding.
In its latest version, the tool supports three distinct robot types:
Four-wheeled robots
Three-wheeled (tricycle) robots
Two-wheeled robots with a caster wheel
Users can select the desired robot type and input specific parameters, after which the tool automatically generates the corresponding URDF file. Additionally, when saving, a copy of the URDF file is stored in a designated location for launch files, facilitating seamless integration with simulation environments like ROS2 and Gazebo.
The Mobile Robot URDF Maker is particularly beneficial for robotics enthusiasts, researchers, and developers who require quick and accurate URDF generation for various mobile robot configurations. By automating the URDF creation process, it reduces development time and minimizes potential errors associated with manual file creation.
