Great work Francisco, thanks for the contributions!
However, how does your kdl_wrapper package differ from the established URDF
kdl_parser <
http://wiki.ros.org/kdl_parser?distro=hydro> package and
MoveIt's kdl_kinematics_plugin<
https://github.com/ros-planning/moveit_ros/tree/hydro-devel/planning/kdl_kinematics_plugin>
and
kdl-based dynamics
solver<
https://github.com/ros-planning/moveit_core/tree/hydro-devel/dynamics_solver>?
Perhaps these packages could be merged/centralized to prevent duplication
of functionality?
