Interoperability with URDF / Gazebo and modelling of Robots

[RelatingData]

Hi,

I have used OpenJScad 1.0 extensively to model various object for laser cutting or 3d printing in the past

I have recently come across Gazebo and URDF I am wondering if anybody else has and I am looking for ways to move between the two

URDF is <XML/> (Universal Robot Description Format) and could potentially be transformed into JSCON and a procedural JavaScript for JSCAD

Gazebo brings the robot to life via simple controls or a complete ROS brain
obviously with Gravity Friction and Physics Kinematics/Dynamics etc etc

There is a nice drop and drag editor for assembling geometry to make the robot

Please let me know if there is interest and how I might contribute as I will have time as I transition to retirement

Kind Regards
And
Thanks In Advance

@RelatingData Cool stuff! I'm sure there are a few robot fans in the user group.

And hopefully, JSCAD can help to put together some cool tools. Please let us know of anything needs to change, or if some extra functionality would be helpful
