[ros-users] URDF: XML formalism

[David Lu!!]

I too have been trying to work through the differences between the
documentation and what's implemented.

I've started working on a tutorial to guide people through how to make a
complete model with the robot state publisher. Check it out here:
http://www.ros.org/wiki/urdf/Tutorials/Using%20urdf%20with%20robot_state_publisher

That said, I haven't finished writing it yet. And the documentation is
unclear how to apply textures, so I haven't finished that part yet. But
maybe you'll find it useful.

-DL!!
