All,

The ROS-Industrial Consortium is proposing a project that I think is of great interest to the broader ROS Community: Conversion of CAD data to ROS-interpretable file types (e.g. URDF, SRDF).  This is a very common problem for many ROS users, without an automated solution that I am aware of.  For more details, see http://rosindustrial.org/news/2015/7/20/proposed-cad-to-ros-focused-technical-project

If you are interested to learn more about the project goals or participating, please reach out to myself.
