If you look at the bottom of the urdf code API page you'll find direct pointers on how to access data in a urdf tree. Björn, would you mind helping out future users with the same problem by also posting this question on answers.ros.org? Or even better, you could add a small example to the urdf parsing tutorial ;-) Thanks! Wim -- -- Wim Meeussen Willow Garage Inc.
