[ros-users] Attach two urdf models in Gazebo

[John Hsu]

For PR2, we write individual components as xacro macros, and build various
robot configurations into a single urdf.  For example see attached arm urdf,
utilizing various component urdf's from
pr2_description<http://ros.org/wiki/pr2_description>
.

Right now, there is no dynamic joint(constraint) creation between separate
models in simulation.  If this is something that is useful, please create a
ticket <https://code.ros.org/trac/ros-pkg/newticket>.

hope this helps,
John
