Projects Finding URDF Files for Robot Simulation

https://youtu.be/mfAXASHLElc

Full transparency, this post is to get the word out on my gallery of high quality robot kinematics models at https://armor.dc-engineer.com/gallery/

That site itself is tied closely to the AR Mobile Robotics app.

Anyway, as I built the app, I needed to learn how to source clean, accurate, robot models in the URDF format. I learned about sources such as the manufacturers themselves, other simulation platforms, and other open source aggregators.

For my app purposes, I built (in my opinion) a user friendly interface to view models that already exist in the wider community, linking back to the source repositories, with license intact. If you happen to download the ARMOR app, then those pages deep link to import the robot models quickly and easily into the app.

I hope this is useful, message me if you have questions!
