[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [ROS Projects] Urdf-viz: URDF file viewer

[Takashi Ogura]

Hi, ROS Users!

I released `urdf-viz`, URDF viewer.

https://github.com/OTL/urdf-viz

How do you check your URDF files?
launch rviz? Isn't heavy?

urdf-viz is offline, single binary to visualize urdf file.
It supports not only moving each joint, but moving arms using inverse kinematics.
All mesh types are supported.

See some images

I'm happy if you try `urdf-viz` and tell me some issues on github.
I know the GUI interface is not good enough, but it will take more time to fix it.

Because `urdf-viz` is written in [rust-lang](https://www.rust-lang.org), it is not installed by
apt-get install ros-*.
Please read [README.md](https://github.com/OTL/urdf-viz) to try.

I think Rust is suitable language for robotics, and started some projects for robotics.
urdf-viz is one of them.

I already wrote [kinematics](https://github.com/OTL/k), [urdf loader](https://github.com/OTL/urdf-rs), [visualizer](https://github.com/OTL/urdf-viz), and [rrt](https://github.com/OTL/rrt) in Rust.
