Hello, I'm working with the kuka-lwr-ros package and I want to add a camera at the top of the robot. I managed to do this when I directly edited the original kuka_lwr.urdf.xarco file like shown in this tutorial: http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=ro...

For better use, I want to have different files for the sensors and actuators (like camera, gripper and so on). I to copy the urdf.xarco file from an example of this package and edited this one.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<robot xmlns:xacro="http://www.ros.org/wiki/xacro" name="single_lwr_robot">

  <!-- Include all models -->
  <xacro:include filename="$(find lwr_description)/model/kuka_lwr.urdf.xacro"/>
  <xacro:include filename="$(find kuka-lwr-gripper)/robot/my_camera.urdf.xacro"/>

  <!-- using the models -->
  <xacro:kuka_lwr name="lwr">
    <origin xyz="0 0 0" rpy="0 0 0"/>
  </xacro:kuka_lwr>

  <xacro:my_camera>
    <origin xyz="0 0 0" rpy="0 0 0"/>
  </xacro:my_camera>

</robot>

The last part (xarco:my_camera ..., and the include of my_camera.urdf.xarco) is my additions. The my_camera.urdf.xarco looks like follows:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<robot name="my_camera" xmlns:xacro="http://www.ros.org/wiki/xacro">

  <xacro:property name="camera_link" value="0.05" /> <!-- Size of square 'camera' box -->

  <xacro:macro name="my_camera">

    <parent link="kuka_lwr_7_link"/>
    <child link="camera_link"/>
  </joint>

When I launch the launch file with the urdf.xarco from above, I geht the following error:

Unused block "origin" None None
