Human model in gazebo #47

Open FooKii opened 4 years ago

FooKii commented 4 years ago

Hello, I've successfully spawned agents in gazebo where agents now are in shape of box. So i'm trying to make it look like a real human. Following attempts has been made but no success:

In actor_model.sdf file

use the comment-out lines, but i see no model://pedsim_gazebo_plugin/meshes/actor_model.obj in my workspace
use other mesh file like < walking person > from gazebo, but either i got error GazeboRosApiPlugin SpawnModel Failure: input xml format not recognized
or the gazebo will be freezed for a moment then still no human shown in gazebo, even though in terminal i see the successfully spawned actormessage

Would be great if anyone can give me a hint, thx in advance

Apparently the <actor> tag can be used to easily display an animated human being. <actor> tag is like an extension of <model>, but on the sdf file it is in the same hierarchy and cannot be called. When I call it up, the warning

[ WARN] [1587553447.937071639, 0.313000000]:  Could not find <model> or <world> element in sdf, so name and initial position cannot be applied

comes out. Is it a limitation of the ROS that the <actor> tag cannot be spawned?

Have you solved the problem yet? I also wanted to include pedestrians in Gazebo, and there were problems with actor walk.dae.
