如何用URDF文件构建机械手模型并与MoveIt集成

机械手URDF文件的编写

我们用urdf文件来描述我们的机械手的外观以及物理性能。这里为了简便，就只用了基本的圆柱、立方体了。追求美观的朋友，还可以用dae文件来描述机械手的外形。

机械手的外型

可以在vscode中打开这个文件然后用插件就可以看到这个机械手的外形。

有同学不知道如何在vscode中查看urdf模型，这里介绍一下：先安装vscode的ROS拓展，

然后可以在urdf文件中右键–》command palette–》ROS:Preview URDF

机械手link的inertial的设置

真正设置的话，有公式，自己可以参考一下。
urdf里面的link必须要有旋转惯量矩阵‘intertial’的，否则在gazebo里面导入模型urdf时，会报下面的错。
[gazebo-1] [Err] [Model.cc:123] Error Code 23 Msg: FrameAttachedToGraph error, Non-LINK vertex with name [model] is disconnected; it should have 1 outgoing edge in MODEL attached_to graph.

ros2_control插件

该插件是在gazbo导入该模型文件时，创建与Ros2交互的接口。

上面这个是之前的，我现在更新成这样了主要是parameter节点不一样。用了$(find mybot)就方便一点。但是相应地launch文件中就要用xacro了。

上面的ros2_controllers.yaml文件是在下一步创建出来的，先不用管。
同时，ros2_control这个节点下的内容也是要和ros2_controllers.yaml对应的，也可以先不管。
这个节点在开始阶段先注释掉，否则会与通过moveit_setup_assistant创建的一个 fake_system 的 ros2_control冲突。

机械手与MoveIt的关联

通过前面的操作，我们拥有了一个描述机械手的文件 six_arm.urdf，接下来我们利用该文件创建一个可以利用MoveIt进行路径规划的“工程”。

建立一个文件夹myRobot，然后再在此文件夹中建立一个src文件夹

然后进入src文件夹路径，创建包

ros2 pkg create mybot_description --build-type ament_python

在 src/mybot_description文件夹下，创建urdf文件夹，然后把six_arm.urdf放进去，如下图所示。

返回myRobot目录，然后编译一下

colcon build

from setuptools import setup

from glob import glob #这里
import os #这里

package_name = 'mybot_description'

setup(
    name=package_name,
    version='0.0.0',
    packages=[package_name],
    data_files=[
        ('share/ament_index/resource_index/packages',
            ['resource/' + package_name]),
        ('share/' + package_name, ['package.xml']),
        (os.path.join('share', package_name, 'urdf'), glob('urdf/**')), #这里
    ],
    install_requires=['setuptools'],
    zip_safe=True,
    maintainer='yong',
    maintainer_email='yong@todo.todo',
    description='TODO: Package description',
    license='TODO: License declaration',
    tests_require=['pytest'],
    entry_points={
        'console_scripts': [
        ],
    },
)

最后启动一下
