In tutorial :

http://wiki.ros.org/urdf/Tutorials/Pa...

When I run:

~/catkin_ws$ ./devel/lib/testbot_description/parser /src/testbot_description/urdf/my_robot.urdf

I get:

[ERROR] [1391452425.205963339]: Could not open file [/src/testbot_description/urdf/my_robot.urdf] for parsing.
[ERROR] [1391452425.206094879]: Failed to parse urdf file

I checked in the directories, both files are already present but still error! Kindly help!

My Ros: Hydro My OS: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

what do you see when you run "ls /src/testbot_description/urdf/my_robot.urdf"?

There is a dot missing in the second tutorial.

From your catkin workspace, run: ./devel/lib/testbot_description/parser ./src/testbot_description/urdf/my_robot.urdf

It worked for me.

urdf::Model::initFile(urdf_file) takes an absolute file path (see urdf::Model C++ API), so you would have to run something like ./devel/lib/testbot_description/parser /home/<user>/catkin_ws/src/testbot_description/urdf/my_robot.urdf (make sure to replace <user> with your user name).</user></user>

Still not working for me. An error of more or less the same type appears!
