When I run ros2 run robot_state_publisher robot_state_publisher neato.urdf.xacro I get these errors

Hello there,

This is not a urdf file you need to first convert your xacro file to urdf file

xacro model.xacro > model.urdf

You can check urdf file via below command.

check_urdf _path_to_urdf_file_
