I asked for Mechanical engineers support, and they are aware of this issue and our requirements.
The new iCub model contains also the leg contact frames.
Updated the documentation in the wiki. As discussed with @gabrielenava, probably yarp-wholebodyinterface
is deprecated, so we can close the issue? Or do we have to copy the models in another location?
I noticed that this frames are not present in the iCubNancy01 model, differently from the version manually patched in https://github.com/robotology/yarp-wholebodyinterface/blob/master/app/robots/iCubNancy01/model.urdf . However, I do not know if anyone is using those frames, as the controllers in whole-body-controllers does not seem to support anymore iCubNancy01, at least judging from the configuration files.
Yes, at the moment the torque controllers only support icubGazeboSim
, iCubGazeboV2_5
, and iCubGenova02/04
. The idea was to port from WBIToolbox-Controllers
only the bare essentials in order to keep an ordered and maintainable structure of the repo, and then to add other robots/features only if necessary. I think for the moment we can proceed without iCubNancy01
and if necessary we can add it later. Or should we ask to the Nancy lab?

If it takes too long time to generate a no-battery-pack model with these new frames, we may take the iCubGenova02/04
are remove some torso mass to generate the iCubNancy01
model, right?
The Creo-generated model without backpack (such as the iCubDarmstadt01) already contains this models (but at the moment the iCubNancy01 robot is still generated with the dh
parameters hardcoded in the code because it uses arv v1). However, the question was if we want to have iCubNancy01 configuration files for the controllers. If we don't, I think we can deal with this model problem when we will work in adding back the configuration files to the controllers.
So probably we can close this issue?
I prefer to solve the iCubNancy01 problem before closing this issue, see also https://github.com/robotology/yarp-wholebodyinterface/issues/89 .
@gabrielenava defined and added to the
simmechanics
generated models the(r/l)_upper_leg_contact
frames, that are convenient for experiments in which the robot is sitting on its legs. After a day, I suggest to renamed this frames to*_upper_leg_back_contact
to avoid confusion.These frames work fine, but they have been just committed to the robot models contained in
yarp-wholebodyinterface
, and I will list here the things that need to be addressed to have them properly integrated in the model generation pipeline.icub-model-generator
and regenerated all the URDFs ,Copy the generated models inyarp-wholebodyinterface
