Open rohitdavas opened 3 years ago

rohitdavas commented 3 years ago

W.r.t to chapter 3 I would like to raise some issues. ROS - Noetic

Issue one : roslaunch robot_description arm_gazebo_control.launch and roslaunch robot_description arm_gazebo_control_xacro.launch produces different results.

The results can be seen below.

arm_urdf_correct

arm_xacro_wrong


  1. Manipulator urdf file launch gives correct results while xacro file throws error. Plus in source code of manipulator xacro launch you are launching the urdf file only.

manipulator_xacro_file_wrong

result of urdf file launch manipulator_urdf_correct


I have also checked whether urdf files generated through rosrun xacro xacro filename > outfilename are working or not. They are giving the same error. I have spent many hours thinking I was making some mistake.
