URDF Importer Extension

URDF Importer

The URDF Importer Extension is used to import URDF representations of robots. Unified Robot Description Format (URDF) is an XML format for representing a robot model in ROS.

Getting Started

1. Clone the GitHub repo to your local machine.
2. Open a command prompt and navigate to the root of your cloned repo.
3. Run build.bat to bootstrap your dev environment and build the example extensions.
4. Run _build\{platform}\release\isaacsim.asset.importer.urdf.app.bat to start the Kit application.
5. From the menu, select File->Import and select your URDF file to import.

This extension is enabled by default. If it is ever disabled, it can be re-enabled from the Extension Manager by searching for isaacsim.asset.importer.urdf.

Note: On Linux, replace .bat with .sh in the instructions above.
