Changing link name causes parse error
I'm trying to follow the beginner's tutorial shown here:
http://wiki.ros.org/urdf/Tutorials/Bu...
For some reason, if I change the name of a link—e.g., from "right_leg" to "leg"—I get a urdf parse error. The error goes away as soon as I revert the link names to their original values. No idea why this is happening—or why it should ever. It seems that link names should be anything we deem suitable?
I'm running ros with rviz hydro on a VirtualBox virtual machine.
Thanks!
What are you trying to run from the tutorial when this error occurs? Also, what is the error message?
Sounds like something else running is depending on this name, not a URDF error, because link names are allowed to change.
