Generate a BB robot module from a URDF file
Reads a URDF XML file and writes a defmodule that uses BB with an
equivalent topology to your project.
If the target module already exists, only its topology do ... end block
is replaced — settings, sensors, controllers, commands and any other
hand-written content are left in place. If the existing module has no
topology block, one is appended.
Example
mix bb.from_urdf path/to/robot.urdf --module MyApp.Robot
Options
--module,-m- The module name for the generated robot. Defaults to{AppPrefix}.Robot.
URDF feature support
<mimic> joints are emitted as a BB.Sensor.Mimic attached to the
mimicking joint — BB's sensor implements the same
position * multiplier + offset semantics as URDF.
These URDF features have no direct BB equivalent and are skipped with a warning rather than failing the import:
<safety_controller>blocks<transmission>blocks<gazebo>extensions
Mesh files are referenced as-is — package:// URIs from ROS are not
rewritten, so you may need to copy meshes into the project and adjust
paths by hand.
