Possible bug in URDF
Hello, I'm not an expert in URDF. I'm trying to deploy Franka on RVIZ with ROS melodic. I'm getting the Franka links spread around using this command
<xacro:panda_arm xyz="0 0 0.5"/>
but when I run
<xacro:panda_arm/>
It is deployed well.
I found that the xyz
argument is used inside the xacro files in the link/visual/origin and link/collision/origin task as it is done here.
I do not know if this is correct, because the xyz
argument should move the robot w.r.t. its parent joint and not each one of their links w.r.t. their parent joint.
I removed that and it works.
On the other hand if the connected_to
arguments is used, a link with that name is declared here. I would imagine that this link is declared outside the arm URDF definition, and this is a re-declaration.
If I'm ok, I can do the pull request.
