The webots_controllers_to_load parameter contains the controller names from the yaml file. This contains the name of the ROS topic for joint commands, the servo names from the Webots model, and the P constant for the position controller.Ĭreate a launch file in the /launch directory, using this package as an example. yaml file in the /config directory, using this package as an example.
#WEBOTS NAO JOINT NAMES SIMULATOR#
The Webots simulator should load with the Puma 560 in the home position. Run the demo: $ roslaunch webots_controllers joint_position_controller_demo.launch

Position commands are received on a ROS topic for each joint.Ĭurrent position and calculated velocity values are published on the /joint_states topic.įorce information is not checked due to a bug with Webots 6.4.4įollow these instructions to install the kaist_webots stack.Ī demo of the joint position controller is included, using ROS messages to control a simulated Puma 560 manipulator in Webots. The webots_controllers_to_load parameter in the launch file specifies which controllers from the yaml file should be loaded. Convert your URDF file to a Webots Robot string and import it. Load your converted model into Webots and make final adjustments. Convert your URDF file to a Webots PROTO file. The controller configuration is defined in a yaml file, which includes the ROS topic for subscribing to commands for each joint, the joint's servo name in Webots, and the value of the P constant. Check out this tutorial for a more in-depth, step by step instruction, on how to: Generate a URDF file from a ROS repository. A joint position controller for Webots, utilising the C++ API and simple P-control. Webots - Avoid 'joint' objects getting inside one another (i.e.
