Could you provide a detailed description on making the robot arm UE environment? #16

Hello,

I have been struggling with how to make a robot environment that is similar to the robot arm example provided by gym-unrealcv. From the tutorial of either gym-unrealcv or unrealcv, it is not clear how to add robots with their meshes and kinematics/collision definitions into unreal engine so that a binary file can be compiled for gym-unrealcv. Usually we have urdf files to organize robot meshes and kinematics. Is there a way to import a robot by using their URDF files and linked meshes into unreal engine?

It would be great if a detailed description of how the robot arm was imported into unreal engine can be provided.

Thanks!

Hi, As far as we know, the URoboSim project would be helpful to you to import URDF files to UE4.

Thank you! I have tried using URoboSim as a project plugin. That said, I met lots of errors in the compiling phase. I suspect URoboSim is too old to use. Also the URoboSim mentions that URoboSim is deprecated and they are developing a newer version, but I cannot find it.
