It needs closed parts under their own terms: read them before any commercial use.

One part it needs is closed

  • Needs Onshape: It exports robots designed in Onshape, a proprietary online CAD service, through Onshape's API, so it needs an Onshape account.

Labels

  • Closed coreIt needs closed parts: Onshape.

What it does

  • Reads an assembly from Onshape via its API and turns it into a robot model.
  • Produces robot descriptions in URDF, SDF and MuJoCo formats.
  • Intended for building models suitable for physics simulation.
  • Project documentation is hosted on Read the Docs.
  • A separate repository holds example projects.
