human_description
Parametric kinematic model of humans, in URDF format, for usage in robotics and HRI

Part of the ROS4HRI project.
Testing
Install the package, and launch ros2 launch human_description show.launch.py.
This will display the human model, as well as a GUI to control the human joint
state (you might need to install joint_state_publisher_gui on your system if
not yet available).
The script script/create_human_urdf.py can also be used to generate a URDF
model from the template, showcasing the different parameters that can be
configured.
Changelog for package human_description
2.0.2 (2024-02-05)
- fix joint limits for the arms the joint limits for the arms were wrong, as they did not really reflect the range of movements a human is able to perform. This commit introduces realistic joint limits for human arms.
- Contributors: lorenzoferrini
2.0.1 (2023-11-13)
- port to ROS2 humble
- Contributors: Séverin Lemaignan
1.0.0 (2022-01-13)
- v1 of the human URDF model
- Initial commit
