Testing Model Views

Test the robot descriptions via the launcher in turtlebot_viz/turtlebot_rviz_launchers.

roslaunch turtlebot_rviz_launchers view_model.launch

It is a standalone launcher with minimal dependencies. Comments on how to reconfigure your environment to view the different robot models are in the launcher.

Changelog for package turtlebot_description

• update astra urdf by Turtlebot REP (#248)
  • update astra urdf by Turtlebot REP
  • update astra urdf
  • Update astra.urdf.xacro

2.4.1 (2016-12-22)

• Update R200 URDF The name of the camera link has been changed to conform to the common standard.
• Refactor urdf.xacro files to stop loading unnecessary content. Currently, every robot configuration (e.g., turtlebot_description/robots/kobuki_hexagons_kinect.urdf.xacro) simply includes a catch-all turtlebot_library.urdf.xacro file. This file includes EVERY base, stacks, and sensor combination, and thus a lot of unnecessary data is loaded into memory. Refactored the turtlebot_library.urdf.xacro to include only the data common to all turtlebot configurations, and modified each robot configuration file to include only the additional base, stacks, and sensor urdf files that apply.
