Failure to spawn full human model in gazebo #2

Closed s-arora1987 closed 5 years ago

s-arora1987 commented 5 years ago

I cloned the "human-gazebo" repo, and tried to spawn the urdfs using

<node name="spawn_human" pkg="gazebo_ros" type="spawn_model" args="-file $(path-to-urdf) -urdf -model XSensStyleModel_template -x 0.0 -y 0.0 -z 1.0"/>

Gazebo showed a white box instead of a human body. Could you please tell me how to fix this issue?

@s-arora-1987 at the moment the only working model for gazebo is inside legacy directory sub0 model. To successfully spawn this human model in gazebo you need to add the legacy directory (which contains gazebo database configuration file) i.e export GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=/<your-path>/legacy

Are there wrist joint and fingers to pick and rotate objects?

yeshasvitirupachuri commented 5 years ago

Unfortunately not yet. I suggest to take a look at icub-gazebo repository for a robot with hands including fingers that are similar to a human being.

Closing this issue and a proper readme file will be added #3 to provide the basic details what this repository offers.
