pr2 urdf specifies unsupported floating link (ros ticket #4448) #186

Closed ahendrix closed 11 years ago

ahendrix commented 11 years ago

The pr2 urdf uses a floating link for the gripper. The urdf spec does not support this (the parser does, but that is a 'bug' we hope to fix). The solution we discussed for the pr2 urdf is to attach the gripper link to one of the finger tips, and create an extra link for the other finger tip. The name of this extra link will be the same as the existing link, but with the string 'link' replaced by 'frame'. Patch is on the way.
