This repo contains models for the iCub robots and installs them to be found easily by YARP and ROS resource locator infrastructure. However, for a novice user it may be...

Automatically generate the **_visuomanip models from existing models

2

Similar to what is done for all others model stored in this repo, the original source of information (hands model, eyes models) should be stored in some other location, and...

Provide simulated iCub models that also spawn wholebodydynamics and cartesiancontrollerserver devices

1

The "real" iCub robot are typically launched with a `yarprobotinterface` that spawns, beside the YARP device that communicate with the internal robot fieldbus and the YARP network wrapper server device...

Provide models corresponding to specific versions of iCub

2

Currently the icub-models repo contains models of specific physical iCub used around the world (iCub), but for some uses cases it would be useful to have a model of a...

Update models with realistic viscous and coulomb friction parameters

2

Since when the iCub URDF and Gazebo models have been created, they have been always arbitrary values for the viscous and coulomb joint friction parameters (see https://github.com/robotology/icub-model-generator/pull/86). While the values...

Probably this can be done with the `gazebo_yarp_videotexture` plugin, as done for the R1 robot ( https://github.com/robotology/cer-sim/issues/17 and https://github.com/robotology/cer-sim/pull/18).

Document frames and link frames situation

4

* Document that the location of the link frames is not consistent between the models, and that for simmechanics models only the link frames listed in https://github.com/robotology/icub-model-generator/blob/52ee80fdbfc588e09010dd418fd5904c6ac7383c/simmechanics/data/icub2_5/ICUB_2-5_BB_simmechanics_options.yaml.in#L552 have a strictly...

Instruction on using the models in Gazebo should be updated to consider also the case in which the models are used from the build directory

1

In https://github.com/robotology/icub-models#use-the-models-with-gazebo, we should also consider the case of models used from the build, as that case is documented as supported in the superbuild itself.
