Single primatic joint breaking in cartesian prismatic model
I am currently trying to simulate a fully prismatic cartesian robot in gazebo. My URDF appears to be completely fine in RViz as all joints move the correct way however, when I open it in gazebo the movement in the x axis joint (horizontal bearing movement joint in URDF) will disconnect and the child link and all the ones following it will float away up and down in the y direction (global z but y direction with respect to the child link).
This issue is the last in a long list where I originally had every joint completely disconnecting and falling to the global origin.
I believe this is a URDF issue as the same issue occurs with or without controllers loaded. I have written my URDF below, the broken joint is "horizontal_bearing_movement_joint" I have tried numerous things over a number of week and nothing seems to work. I have triple checked the inertias, all the origins and the link origins when converting STL to dae.
Any help would be amazing as I am losing my mind trying to figure this out. Let me know if more info is required.
