Kim,

You can perfectly create a URDF for a humanoid, and start using it
with rviz, robot_state_publisher, etc. The only constraint on the URDF
is that your robot can be represented in a tree structure, but I don't
see why that would be a problem.

You can visualize / replay your robot motion in rviz, even if the
joint states are published at 1kHz.  Is that what you were asking for?
