Hi, I'm trying to modify the turtlebot model to add a rotation axis to the kinect camera to move it like a type of neck or something like that but I don't know exactly if I need to change the type of the joint of the kinect camera on turtlebot_description files
The question was closed while I was preparing a complete answer. Basically, what you need is to change the type of joint that ties the Kinect to the Turtlebot structure from fixed to continuous . Then you need to add the controller for the joint. Video showing how to: https://youtu.be/Y5K4gF2teIA

Sorry it was tagged as hydro and I closed it all hydro tagged questions. Reopening.
No worries Tully. I thought that this was a very good question to answer because it is very common to decide to add a rotating joint here or there in the robot, but it is not trivial how to do that in the simulation so the joint can be controlled properly.
