Overview
This package contains a simplified robot description (MJCF) of the xArm7 arm developed by UFACTORY. It is derived from the publicly available URDF description.
URDF → MJCF derivation steps
- Added
<mujoco> <compiler discardvisual="false" fusestatic="false"/> </mujoco>
to the URDF's<robot>
clause in order to preserve visual geometries. - Loaded the URDF into MuJoCo and saved a corresponding MJCF.
- Manually edited the MJCF to extract common properties into the
<default>
section. - Added actuators for the arm and hand.
- Added
scene.xml
which includes the robot, with a textured groundplane, skybox, and haze.
