Allow to load custom configuration for the description
Context
Nowadays the configuration files that describe the robot are located at: https://github.com/Ekumen-OS/andino/tree/humble/andino_description/config/andino
However if the user wanted to have it a bit different; motors
added in a different manner, lidar
displaced and connected somwhere else, base
with different size; they should create their own URDF files as the configuration files are harcoded within the xacro
file
Proposal
- Modify the xacro to receive by argument the path to the configuration files
- Use as default the current files if no argument is passed down to the xacro files.
- Modify the launch file to accept passing the path to the configuration yaml.
Also!
- Update documentation
