2.1.1 Introduction to Module 2

Course subject(s) Module 2. Build your own robot environment

Welcome to module 2! In this week we are going to learn how to model the world using the Unified Robot Description Format. (URDF)

Modelling the robot environment is an essential part of creating a successful ROS application. With the Unified Robot Description Format (URDF) you can create a model of the factory environment that will be used in this course. By creating your own URDF model of a robot prototype, you can quickly analyze its behaviour and constraints.

URDF overview:

  • Basics of URDF
  • Links, joints, geometry
  • Model environments and robots
  • Understanding URDF
  • Add and remove simple objects
  • Import complex models
  • Limitations
  • Tools
