creating URDF using the D-H parameters.
I am trying to build a URDF model in rviz for simulation purpose. I have developed a URDF model which is working fine if I move the joints manually. I am not sure if I have done the conversion from DH to URDF correctly. Can someone help?

This is the URDF and the DH parameters for these joints for Adept1 robot are
a d alpha theta
0.42500 0 0 0
0.37500 0 0 0
0 0.30000 0 0
0 0 1.57080 0
0 0 1.57080 0
Please I would like to know if I am going in the right direction. Otherwise please give me guidelines to use DH parameters in URDF. Thank you.

I want to know how to use a ,d alpha and theta in URDF tags. I have tried using it in Joint tag. Am I just need to use Joint tag or Also the link tag?

hi,there, how to generate the dae file,could you give me some help?

@manipulator: I am using Meshlab which accept number of file formats including .obj. You can export your mesh to .stl or .dae
