Hello all.
I have to load a .urdf.xacro file using the latest version of gazebo. The file of my interested is :https://github.com/utexas-bwi/segbot/tree/master/segbot_description.
Using Gazebo 1.7, I have no idea how to open up a .urdf.xacro file. Do I have to convert it first to sdf or do I open it directly? How do I do that?
Thank you!
You'll need to run xacro to convert the file to urdf, which Gazebo can handle. This is easy to do if you have ROS installed:
rosrun xacro xacro.py <xacro file here>
If you don't have ROS installed, I can't think of an easy way. Let me know and I'll post the converted file. That file will undergo some changes in the upcoming week that you won't get if I do so (I maintain the segbot stack).
Here you go: http://farnsworth.csres.utexas.edu/share/test.urdf
