Fetch Mobile Manipulator

Mobile base, torso, arm and head in one Fetch description.

Inspect this model in 3D

Rotate the robot, move its joints and inspect collision geometry. The preview fetches model resources directly from the pinned upstream revision.

Visualization checks geometry and joint motion. It does not run a physics simulation.

Before you use this model

Obtain the complete fetch_description package; this snapshot uses the ros1 branch.

The ros1 branch contains Fetch and Freight descriptions. ROS 2 integration requires separate work.

Get the source package

Keep meshes, includes and license files together. A single URDF or Xacro file may not be enough.

Download upstream ZIP

Full repository at the recorded revision. Submodules and external dependencies may need separate installation.

From source to your workspace

  1. 1. Get the complete package

    Use the ZIP above or clone the upstream repository. Follow its installation instructions for your branch and ROS distribution.

  2. 2. Resolve the description

    Keep the URDF together with its mesh files. Check package:// paths and preserve the original directory structure.

  3. 3. Inspect before simulation

    Check the link tree and limits, then validate in your chosen simulator. Controllers and physics settings are separate.

    Check your URDF
