How to load the franka panda with colours in pybullet?

[estellexky]

Hi! I would like to ask how to load the franka panda in pybullet with white and black colours (just like you showed in readme). I have tried the franka_panda_description package in your github, however I got the franka in pybullet with only white colour.

Looking forward to your reply. Thanks a lot.

Hi Estelle, thank you for your question!

If you installed the package as explained in the README.md, the franka panda should load without having to install any additional packages. Do the following command lines give you an error?

pip install panda-gym

Then, in a python script:

import gym
import panda_gym
env = gym.make('PandaReach-v0', render=True)

If your question is more general and does not concern the use of my package, here is how to load the panda (without having to install any additional package) :

pip install pybullet

then, in a python3 script:

import pybullet as p
import pybullet_data
p.connect(p.GUI)
p.setAdditionalSearchPath(pybullet_data.getDataPath())
p.loadURDF("franka_panda/panda.urdf")

Result:

I can load successfully panda now with your instruction. It seems that I didn't know franka_panda/panda.urdf already exists.

Thanks a lot!
