MuJoCo ros2_control Simulation

This package contains a ros2_control system interface for the MuJoCo Simulator. It was originally written for simulating robot hardware in NASA Johnson’s iMETRO facility.

The system interface wraps MuJoCo’s Simulate App to provide included functionality. Because the app is not bundled as a library, we compile it directly from a local install of MuJoCo.

Parts of this library are also based on the MoveIt mujoco_ros2_control package.

URDF Model Conversion

MuJoCo does not support the full feature set of xacro/URDFs in the ROS 2 ecosystem. As such, users are required to convert any existing robot description files to an MJCF format. This includes adding actuators, sensors, and cameras as needed to the MJCF XML.

This conversion can be done either offline or at run time. We have built a highly experimental tool to automate URDF conversion. For more information refer to the documentation.

Hardware Interface Setup

Plugin

This application is shipped as a ros2_control hardware interface, and can be configured as such. Just specify the plugin and point to a valid MJCF on launch:

```xml

mujoco_ros2_control/MujocoSystemInterface $(find my_description)/description/scene.xml</param> $(find my_description)/config/pids.yaml</param> 5.0</param> optional_frame</param> $(find my_description)/config/start_positions.xml</param> /mujoco_robot_description</param> 6.0</param> 10.0</param> false</param> floating_base_joint</param> /simulator/floating_base_state</param> ...

MuJoCo ros2_control Simulation

This package contains a ros2_control system interface for the MuJoCo Simulator. It was originally written for simulating robot hardware in NASA Johnson’s iMETRO facility.

The system interface wraps MuJoCo’s Simulate App to provide included functionality. Because the app is not bundled as a library, we compile it directly from a local install of MuJoCo.

Parts of this library are also based on the MoveIt mujoco_ros2_control package.

URDF Model Conversion

MuJoCo does not support the full feature set of xacro/URDFs in the ROS 2 ecosystem. As such, users are required to convert any existing robot description files to an MJCF format. This includes adding actuators, sensors, and cameras as needed to the MJCF XML.

This conversion can be done either offline or at run time. We have built a highly experimental tool to automate URDF conversion. For more information refer to the documentation.

Hardware Interface Setup

Plugin

This application is shipped as a ros2_control hardware interface, and can be configured as such. Just specify the plugin and point to a valid MJCF on launch:

```xml

mujoco_ros2_control/MujocoSystemInterface $(find my_description)/description/scene.xml</param> $(find my_description)/config/pids.yaml</param> 5.0</param> optional_frame</param> $(find my_description)/config/start_positions.xml</param> /mujoco_robot_description</param> 6.0</param> 10.0</param> false</param> floating_base_joint</param> /simulator/floating_base_state</param> ...
