What problem does it solve?

Connects URDF to the TF tree in ROS 2 by running robot_state_publisher, enabling automatic transforms and RViz visualization. It also integrates with joint_state_publisher for testing moves and verification.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Publishes static transforms for fixed joints on /tf_static
  • Publishes the URDF on the /robot_description topic for RViz, Nav2, and MoveIt
  • Supports multi-robot setups with frame_prefix and namespaces
