Hello everyone,

I want to load a collada file with kinematics and joints of a robot into V-Rep, which only supports URDF for kinematics. I found the collada_parser which seems to be able to convert a collada file to URDF, but I have no idea how to convert or use it. Is it even possible to export the kinematics this way?

Thanks for your help, Daniel

hey, thank you for the answer, but I want to convert the other way round: collada to urdf.

What's wrong with @Bastbeat's answer? Anyway `collada_urdf` package provides conversion in both ways. http://wiki.ros.org/collada_urdf#collada_to_urdf_command-line_tool

@curi_ROS Please open a new question thread instead of asking a question in a comment section. That's not how this forum works and to the worst your question won't get attention it might need.
