Revision history [back]

You should place a transmission element in your model. You can then load a PR2 controller to control the joint. I am not sure if this works in sdf. In urdf you should incorporate such an element:

<transmission type="SimpleTransmission" name="caster_front_left_trans">
  <actuator name="caster_front_left_motor" />
  <joint name="caster_front_left_joint" />
  <mechanicalReduction>1</mechanicalReduction>
</transmission>
