In this video, I'll walk you through how to create a robotic arm model using URDF (Unified Robot Description Format) and visualize it in RViz, a powerful 3D visualization tool in ROS 2. This tutorial will guide you step by step, from setting up your ROS 2 package and creating the URDF file to visualizing your robotic arm in RViz.
What You'll Learn:
0:00 Introduction
0:52 What is a URDF File?
4:05 Create a Package
15:16 Add the Meshes
21:17 Configure CMakeLists.txt
24:10 Configure package.xml
25:42 Build the Package
27:33 Create the URDF (XACRO) File
36:00 Understanding the URDF
1:19:09 Build the Package again
1:19:27 Visualize the URDF File
By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have built and visualized a robotic arm model, gaining essential skills to create, modify, and test robot descriptions in ROS 2.
