[ros-users] Is there any way to implement a "for" loop with xacro?

[Stuart Glaser]

Hi Patrick,

In order to keep xacro simple it does not support any looping mechanisms.

Since URDF files are just XML, you can generate them any number of
ways.  Just generating the desired XML from any scripting language
(Python, Ruby, etc...) would be the simplest way.  Generating the XML
using XSLT is also possible, though not necessarily recommended.
