Atlas MuJoCo ROS2

Introduction

This package is developed with ROS2 based on ihmc_atlas_ros.

The files include:

1. The XML file (description/model/xml/atlas/atlas_v5.xml) of Atlas V5 for the simulation in MuJoCo.
2. A class named MuJoCoMessageHandler is also provided, which publishes the robot joint state and imu message. The odom message is just the real pose of the robot in simulation. More details can be found in the cpp file src/simulation/mujoco/src/MuJoCoMessageHandler.cpp.
3. ROS2 (version) is needed to run this package.
