Just noticed that you don't have a base_link link.

The default RViz config used by display.launch has base_link configured as the Fixed Frame.

Use the dropdown to change it, probably to base8:1.

As I don't have the meshes, I can't be certain, but I believe that will fix it.

Note: I would still not use colons in names of links.

Just noticed that you don't have a base_link link.link in your urdf.

Just noticed that you don't have a base_link link in your urdf.

The default RViz config used by display.launch has base_link configured as the Fixed Frame.

Use the dropdown to change it, it (top-left, under Global Options in RViz), probably to base8:1.

Edit: three additional comments:

  • add a base_link to your urdf: by convention, base_link is the start of all ROS urdf trees. Quite a few tools, packages and humans will assume this, so it might make sense to add one. If you add it, make it the root of the tree.
  • I would still not use colons in names of links.

    links: replace them with underscores.
  • your urdf has all joints rotating over the X axis. That is ok, but convention is for ROS frames to be x+ forward. Right now your model is Y axis aligned. Unless you have a strong need to keep it that way (external software fi), you might consider changing that to X axis aligned.
