Add visual element to differentiate front and back of the robot #11
Conversation
I do not really like it like this. We could put something like an Xtion facing front or a camera? See below.
We need to change the appearance of the hexapods a lot. The best thing to do would be to put actual STLs and just keep very simple the collision parts. If we cannot do that, we could just change the colors to something more subtle [not so bright](like grayish, blueish etc). |

What bellow ? |
Oops! Forgot to erase. At first I had 2 paragraphs that were linked, but then I changed it. What do you think about the STLs? Do you have time? Do we actually have them? |
|
I'm looking for Robotis' STLs. I'll see if it's an easy job or not. The idea of actually having the robot displayed is nice, as long as it does not last too long. I'm not too passionate about handling Xacro and URDF files. |
I totally agree with you. If it takes too long, just leave it as it is and change the colors. Try this website for color chooser. |
|
I'm happy with the colours as they are. You can make your proposals if What about discussing this again when you're back ? I tried putting the Le 15/09/2016 à 09:58, Konstantinos Chatzilygeroudis a écrit :

OK. I will do something.
Yeap. Sure! |
Actually, Marta was the temporary name and Hexaforce has been now chosen.
|
@dogoepp can you put a photo? 😄 |
|
Can you ? |
|
It would be a nice test for the many changes, including the renaming from Marta to Hexaforce. |

Here goes a screenshot |

That's very nice @dogoepp! Good work! I will put the Xtion instead of the box to show the direction.. I like it very much.. |
|
Could you review both the models for Pexod and Hexaforce, so that we can safely merge this ? |
I will try to do it tomorrow. I need to also check the controller in DART.. Thanks for the updates! |
|
Did you find time to try a bit the models. I believe that at least one Le 11/10/2016 à 15:46, Konstantinos Chatzilygeroudis a écrit :

When do you think you could spend some time testing these models in the simulator ? |
Mid of December (around the 15th).. |

OK, thanks :-)

Is there any reason not to merge this pull request ? |
Not really, except from the fact that I haven't checked the new models in simulation.. I will try to do it soon so that we can merge... |
|
@dogoepp Why did you close it? |
|
I just did it, unwillingly. It should not matter since these changes are not merged into master. Let's say the topic of this pull request is to check the models and then merge into master. |

Can I assume that appart from commit a7b68c6 the changes
introduced here are OK for you ?

I think yes, but before merging to master we need to check the simulation if it is ok.. |
I propose to add a visual element to differentiate the front and back of the robots in RVIZ. See bellow for the proposed display.
I also made the body colours different between the new hexapod and Pexod.
Do you have other proposals for the appearance ?
