THE ROBOT MODEL

This is the NeoRacer's . It is the same description the osracer ROS 2 stack loads into robot_state_publisher to broadcast the car's transform tree.

The model is the open osracer robot description. The CAD meshes are simplified for the web, so the silhouette is faithful while the triangle counts stay light enough to spin at full frame rate. The kinematics, link names, and joint axes are unchanged from the source.

SEE IT ON THE CAR

The URDF ships on the car in the osracer_description ROS 2 package, and this page renders a copy of the same file. To see the live version you need the osracer stack running, so start its bringup first (see File system).

//Open RViz

With a monitor or a remote desktop session, open a terminal and run:

bash
rviz2
  • In RViz, click Add and choose RobotModel.
  • Set its Description Topic to /robot_description.
  • Set the Fixed Frame to base_link.

The car appears exactly as in FIG. A, driven by the live transform tree instead of your mouse.
