Support loading models from SDF (Simulation Description Format)

4

For a long time with iCub we used both the [`URDF`](http://wiki.ros.org/urdf) format and the [`SDF`](http://sdformat.org/) format to represent our robots, see for example the models available at [`icub-models`](https://github.com/robotology/icub-models). We use...

Update Matlab-only visualizer to make the use of meshFilePrefix optional

7

The Matlab-only visualizer in https://github.com/robotology/idyntree/blob/50f58798c1ab37d6656754c0fe688bc96e38a1a1/bindings/matlab/%2BiDynTreeWrappers/getMeshes.m#L46 contained an hack to overcome https://github.com/robotology/idyntree/issues/291 . As https://github.com/robotology/idyntree/issues/291 was properly solved in https://github.com/robotology/idyntree/pull/798, we need to permit the use of the new feature if...

I guess you need to set DISPLAY or something similar.

@diegoferigo already shared with me this two piece of info, but I keep forgetting where I have them.

Uniform yarprobotstatepublisher and ROS's RobotStatePublisher

1

As correctly observer by @valegagge , it turns out that `yarprobotstatepublisher` behaves quite differently from the ROS's `RobotStatePublisher`: * the `yarprobotstatepublisher` always publishes the `baseLinkOfTheModel` `frame` transform in `tf` (for...

Spurious failure of test_iDynTreeWholeBodyFTsensorEstimate

In https://github.com/robotology/idyntree/pull/568/checks?check_run_id=210375025 there was an interesting (and scary) spurious failure in `test_iDynTreeWholeBodyFTsensorEstimate`.

Document how to write allocation-free code using iDynTree's data structures and iDynTree::toEigen

Discussing with @prashanthr05 , it turns out that it is not clear why classes such as `iDynTree::VectorDynSize` or `iDynTree::MatrixDynSize` do not implement the overload for `operator*`, and why `iDynTree::toEigen` (or...
