System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Gazebo's physics engine requires valid inertial parameters for every link in the simulation. Incorrect inertias cause instability and unrealistic dynamics.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standard formulas for box, cylinder, and sphere inertias: ixx, iyy, izz, and off-diagonal terms.
  • Xacro macros for quick inertia definitions and parallel-axis adjustments.
  • Guidance on CAD export, validation checks, and safe mass distribution for ROS 2 models.

Quick Start

Process your URDF model to compute masses, centers of mass, and inertia tensors for box, cylinder, or sphere links.
