THIS IS THE FIRST PART:
In this Robot Operating System (ROS) tutorial, we explain how to model a robotic system or a manipulator from scratch in ROS and RViz. We explain how to define the robotic geometry and kinematics in the URDF file. The URDF stands for Unified Robotics Description Format. We explain two types of joints: revolute (rotational) and prismatic (translation). We explain how to write a launch file. We then explain how to visualize and simulate the robotic joint by using RViz. RViz is a powerful tool for visualizing 3D robot kinematics and sensor data.
