URDF change color
Hi, currently I added bumper on my robot and I have my robot model with bumper. I wan to show in rviz that when the bumper get hit the respective bumper will turn from white to red color. But I couldn't find any example on to to change to color of URDF based on subscribing msg. Is anyone know how to do this? or where can I find the example?
I'm not sure you can do this on the fly. You could look into writing a script that listens to collision msgs, changes your urdf/xml file during those cases and reloads the robot_description parameter using the rosparam call.
@2ROS0: but I doubt that would make any of the nodes that already loaded the
robot_descriptionparameter from the server automatically reload it again. There is no change notification system (well there is, but not many nodes use it).
