How to import Collada (.dae) files into Gazebo (ROS/Fuerte)?
Hi,
I am trying to import a COLLADA (.dae) file into Gazebo (from ROS/Fuerte) in order to run some simulations with the PR2. I created the file using Blender, and it basically has an environment (with some tables and walls) and cloth simulations as well. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to simulate this "world" in Gazebo.
I tried following this tutorial, but the "cob" part seems to be for a different version of Gazebo (not Fuerte); besides, step 5 leads to an infinite loop! I also tried changing the code from the wg_collada.world and wg_collada_world.launch as is recommended here but no luck. Then, I tried this one too, but the source paths are not specified for Fuerte yet, so no luck there either. Finally, this one didn’t work, because of the same reason as the later.
I would really appreciate it if anybody can help me figure this out. Thanks,
Stalin
