URDF Mesh filetypes?
What are all the possible filetypes I can use in the <geometry>, <mesh ...=""/> tag? I'm actually trying to use another URDF file as a mesh filetype, but it doesn't seem to be possible.

I can't find a proper reference for it right now, but the mesh formats supported by RViz at least are (from wiki/rviz/DisplayTypes/Marker - The Marker Message - Object Types - Mesh Resource):
Can be any mesh type supported by rviz (binary .stl or Ogre .mesh in 1.0, with the addition of COLLADA (.dae) in 1.1) [..]
So: stl
, dae
and mesh
.

No, it's not. If you are trying to 'make multiple copies' of a single model (fi to create four legs or two identical arms), then you should take a look at xacro, which would allow you to instantiate multiple instances of a single macro (template) and connect it to the right place(s) in your urdf.

Is it possible to use relative path for mesh filename in URDF?
Can material colors be applied to Collada (.dae) meshes?
