How to input data(numerical values) in a csv file(values seperated by commas), to a cpp file-executable to be run in terminal to see the motion of robot in rviz??Data contains the position of robot joints at different times,part of the csv file contains values like these,each column representing each joint.

First your code is missing something to read the csv and fill the joint_state properly.

When you have done that there are two ways to create the appropriate transformations:

  1. Write a program that receives those joint states you send out and publishes the correct transformations.
  2. Create a URDF description of your robot and use a robot_state_publisher. The robot_state_publisher takes the robot description and the current joint states and publishes correct transformations from that.

@dornhege sorry if i have not been clear, my query starts with how to read the csv file? and i have created the urdf description of the robot and have used robot_state_publisher in my launch file and able to launch it in rviz.

I don't know about any ROS facilities for reading csv files. You can just use plain c++.
