Revision history [back]

My approach to simulate a car like robot was to develop a SDF model because it has a revolute2 joint that allow the wheels to rotate around two different axis simultaneous. In my case URDF is made just for RVIZ visualization and to define the transformations between robot's frames. Hope it helps. Any doubt feel free to ask
