Can you confirm with launch script you're using? And maybe which branch you're using?
There has been multiple implementations to simulate a dVRK arm, some completely parallel to the cisst-SAW implementation. In the recent past, I added a simple geometric simulation mode within the cisst-SAW classes. I just updated the dvrk_robot README.md to show how to create a simulated arm: https://github.com/jhu-dvrk/dvrk-ros/blob/master/dvrk_robot/README.md
I also updated the main dvrk_ros README.md to document the content of each directory.
Dear adeguet1, thank you for your reply.
Actually I am not so skilled with ros. I just followed the Readme (https://github.com/jhu-dvrk/dvrk-ros/blob/master/README.md) to build the cisst workspace. After I cloned the master branch of dvrk-ros and tryed the following command: roslaunch dvrk_model ecm.launch. This was just a test, I am actually unable to run all the launch file specified in the launch directory with similar errors.
There is another more stablet branch or some walkthrought that I can follow? Ps I am using ROS indigo on Ubuntu 14.04.
This issue is related to the ecm.xacro file missing in the dvrk-ros/dvrk_model/model/ecm.xacro folder. There has been a lot of changes at this repos and some resulted in broken launch files. This needs to fixed.
As far as your issue is concerned, there are a few ways to get around this problem. The easiest is to open a text editor and change your launch file, change the instances that read "ecm.xacro" to "ECM.urdf.xacro". See if this solves your problem.
For kinematics simulation, please follow the doc here Kinematics Simulation
Hi, i have a problem when i launch the simulator. For example if i launch file ecm.launch i have the following errors "No such file or directory: '/home/andrea/catkin_ws/src/dvrk-ros/dvrk_model/model/ecm.xacro'. I follow the github tutorial. Can you help me please? Tanks
