Dear all, I have the below URDF file.

This is a description for a inverse pendelum robot which I want to train in a simulation with AI. When I load this file with pybullet for the training, it falls down through the ground and won't stop falling.

Has anybody an idea what could be wrong with the URDF file?

If there are missing some important information please let me know.

Thanks a lot for your help guys?

Even thought you're using URDF, this does not sound like a ROS problem.

pybullet is part of Bullet, which is something we use in ROS, but is not part of ROS.

I would suggest to post your question on a forum focused on Bullet support.

I'm going to close this as it's already been cross-posted and it's not actually a ROS question.
