RoboCAD_Visualizer

This project demonstrates the process of using CAD models to create a Unified Robot Description Format (URDF) file and visualizing the model in RViz using ROS2.

Overview:

  1. Convert CAD models (e.g., from SolidWorks) into STL files.
  2. Define a URDF file referencing the STL files.
  3. Launch the model in RViz using ROS2 tools for visualization.

To launch RViz with your URDF model, use the following command: ros2 launch urdf_tutorial display.launch.py model:=/absolute/path/to/your/urdf/file.urdf

In RViz, go to Displays, Global Options, and Change the fixed frame from base_link to world_link
