Since SDF and URDF are both used in ROS/Gazebo as mentioned in: http://answers.gazebosim.org/question/853/should-urdf-in-gazebo-tutorials-be-replaced-with/
http://answers.gazebosim.org/question/543/why-does-drcsim-atlas-robot-model-use-urdf/
Is there a way to convert from SDF to URDF? I have a robot in SDF that I want to use with ROS mechanism_controllers.
Sorry, but there currently is no converter from SDF to URDF.
hi, sorry for commenting here but I posted my doubt and no one answered. I have the same problem in using ros. I have SDF file for my model which I got from gazebo and I want to use it in ros rviz. But ros is supporting urdf only. is it possible to proceed with sdf now ?
I stumbled upon the following package: https://github.com/andreasBihlmaier/p...
It contains a sdf2urdf script, which worked for me after some tweaking.
can you please explain what things you have tried to make it work.
I have created a video that describes step by step how to make it work. Steps are the following: 1- Clone the SDF2URDF package and install (the one indicated by aorthey) 2- Use the sdf2urdf command to convert into URDF: > rosrun pysdf sdf2urdf my_model.sdf result_model.urdf 3- Load the URDF into the parameter server from the launch file of the simulation 4- Use Rviz to check that the URDF has been actually loaded and that it is correct Find the video here: https://youtu.be/8g5nMxhi_Pw
