We could use some help -guidance

I hope this is the right place to post this question. We have a game that uses robots and we're trying to allow teams to personalize their robot and insert it in our game. But we're not sure how we get the new robot into our web GL export product. see the game https://www.vrobotsim.online/homepage.html

Problems with the generated collision meshes

hello! I'm trying to export a robotic finger modeled on Fusion360. I have the URDF File and the stl but when I imported it through the URDFImporter, it generates no so accurate collision meshes and the model keeps trembling during runtime. Is there a way to solve this? Maybe a way to prefab the mesh to it doesn't have to generate it during the importation. So do you manage to have such great mesh collision in the example models? Thank you so much!!!

Simulating Pepper Robot in VR

Hi, I am a beginner in robotics with no knowledge in ROS. I want to simulate pepper robot (a humanoid robot) control using kinect motion control in unity. To make the simulation as realistic as possible with the robot motion constraints(joint dofs and velocity constraints), I want to use pepper robot modeled with articulation bodies combined with IK. Is there any resources on how do we create our own robot model with articulation bodies? I have also tried the urdf importer with urdf file in th…

Directional Friction and Skid Steer

I'm working on a skid steer robot. It moves forward and backward just fine, but attempting to get it to turn is tricky. It won't turn unless you turn the velocities up very high. Gazebo has methods for simulating different friction constants for different directions. Could the existing properties in Physic Material for Dynamic/Static friction be used? I found this reference to directional friction maybe being removed from Unity. Is there another way to get the wheels of my robot to turn pr…
