Can I generate a urdf file from a rigidBodyTree Matlab object?

I have defined a rigidBodyTree object in Matlab (https://de.mathworks.com/help/robotics/ug/rigid-body-tree-robot-model.html?searchHighlight=kinematic%20tree&s_tid=doc_srchtitle). Now I need the corresponding urdf file to use it for example in rviz. Is it possible to generate this automatically out of Matlab?

Hi,

There is no way to export a rigid body tree as URDF in matlab automatically. However if you wish to just visualize it like rviz then you can do it using show function.

Hope this helps !!
