Simplified initialization mode

traversaro commented 8 years ago

It would be nice to be able to initialize the mex-wholebodymodel by:

passing directly a path to an urdf file to load the interface (in this case, all the joints of the model would be automatically added).
passing directly a path to an urdf file and a list of joints to use This would drastically simplify its use for new user/new robots.

Currently for adding a new robot to the mex-wholebodymodel you have to properly create a set of configuration files and copy/install it in a way that can be found by the Yarp ResourceFinder, an impossible task for a newbie.

plus the fact that the whole configuration file is not needed for the model...
