FAQPage Schema

How do I validate URDF files for safety and correctness?▼

URDF validation ensures robot descriptions meet safety requirements for joint limits, inertial properties, collision geometry, and mass documentation. Use the validation patterns and references provided to check your URDF structure against these specifications before deployment.

What URDF template should I use for mobile versus humanoid robots?▼

Template selection depends on your platform: use mobile-focused templates for differential-drive and wheeled systems, or humanoid-base templates for articulated multi-limb robots. Each template includes structure, safety annotations, and joint configurations tailored to the platform.

How do I structure robot descriptions with proper joint limits and inertial properties?▼

URDF templates provide structured examples showing correct joint limit declarations, inertial property definitions, collision geometry setup, and mass specifications. Start with the humanoid-base template and validate each element against the provided guidance to ensure completeness.

Can I use URDF templates for teaching robotics concepts?▼

Yes. URDF templates and validation patterns are designed for educators and robotics developers teaching robot descriptions. Templates include safety annotations and clear structure that help learners understand both the syntax and best practices for describing mobile and humanoid platforms.

What safety requirements must my URDF file meet?▼

URDF safety requirements cover joint limits, inertial properties, collision geometry, and mass documentation. Validation patterns define these rules explicitly, ensuring your robot description prevents unsafe configurations and correctly models physical constraints.
