I will convert your cad assembly into a urdf for ros and gazebo


About this gig
Need your robot to actually move in simulation not just sit there as a dead mesh? I convert your CAD into a clean, working URDF that loads and behaves correctly in ROS, Gazebo, and RViz.
Most CAD designers can't build a proper URDF, and most ROS developers struggle with clean CAD. I do both so your joints, frames (TF), meshes, and physics are set up the way a robotics engineer actually needs.
What you get:
- A properly structured URDF / xacro (links, joints, limits)
- Optimized visual + collision meshes (no laggy sims)
- Accurate mass, center of mass, and inertia values
- A model verified in RViz / Gazebo tested, not guessed
- Motion demo video + ROS 2 launch file (Premium)
Why me:
I'm a mechanical engineering student who builds ROS 2 stacks and race-car hardware, so I understand both the physical design and the software side.
What I need from you:
Your CAD in STEP, STL, or Fusion 360. No CAD yet? I can model it from scratch (add-on).
Before ordering, please message me with your files or requirements so I can confirm scope, timeline, and price. Every robot is different let's make sure it's a great fit first.
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

FAQ
What do you need from me to get started?
Your CAD in STEP, STL, IGES, or Fusion 360, plus a quick note on which parts move and how (the joints). No CAD yet? I can model it from scratch as an add-on. Message me first and I'll confirm it all fits.
Which ROS version do you support?
The URDF/xacro itself works in both ROS 1 and ROS 2. I build and test in ROS 2 (e.g. Humble/Jazzy), and the Premium package includes a ROS 2 launch file. Need a specific distro? Just tell me before ordering.
Will it work in Gazebo, or only RViz?
Basic delivers a clean model that loads in RViz. Standard and Premium add accurate inertials (mass/CoM/inertia) and are verified to spawn and behave correctly in Gazebo. Premium also includes a motion demo video.
