Converting Collada to URDF
Hi all,
I know that there is a handy urdf-to-collada utility, collada_urdf; however, I am looking to go the other way around. Is there an existing utility to do this?
Best,

As far as I know, currently there are no collada->urdf convert software, however robot_model (ROS robot description library) support collada format, thus most of tools can use collada file as well as urdf file. See http://www.ros.org/wiki/collada_urdf/Tutorials/Exporting%20URDF%20to%20COLLADA
There is a Matlab based dynamics package we developed in-house at MIT and we recently made it use URDF by default. The collada file - I don't think I can post it because I had to agree to a license to get access to the WRL file. I could point you to the license page, though, if you are interested...
It looks like this was not only talked about, but actually implemented at some point. I agree it would be a very useful and probably widely used tool.
The ticket was marked as fixed, yet I haven't seen anything on it since.
Is anybody maintaining it?

Are you trying to just convert a single object, or multiple objects with joints, etc?
