Revision history [back]

The URDF simply describes the kinematic and dynamic properties of your robot mechanism. If you want to make a joint rotate a specific angle, you need to write a controller that commands the joint to do something. The controller will probably monitor the joint position, and command joint efforts or velocities. See the robot mechanism controllers wiki page for examples of controllers that run in the pr2 controller infrastructure.
