[ROS Projects] – My Robotic Manipulator – #Part 4 – ROS + URDF/Transmission + Gazebo Controllers

In this video we are going to set up in our robotic manipulator a new URDF element: Transmissions. After that, we are able to integrate ROS and gazebo simulation using ROS controllers. We’ll use a simplified model of the robot to see how it works. At the end of the video we’ll be able to send joint position commands to the robot publishing to some ROS topics.
