Hello,

you can build or import the robot model if you can find an appropriate URDF model or CAD data. If you provide us with a link to the said URDF model or CAD data we might add it to the robot library (but we only found extremely simplified versions of the robot (e.g. using only cylinders)).

Cheers

Hello,

thanks for getting back to me. i found this file which i think is the urdf file you mentioned.
https://github.com/unitreerobotics/z1_r ... ig/z1.urdf

Also i found the cad data form a 3rd party.
https://grabcad.com/library/unitree-z1-robotic-arm-1

Thanks again for your help.

The first file is the extremely simplified version we were talking about. If you want the model created, please provide us the the mesh data, we do not want to have to register other websites to download content.

btw, we finally had a look at the cad files you provided: they do not correspond to the official Z1 arm from the manufacturer website. Please get in touch with the manufacturer to see if you can get an up-to-date model of the Z1 arm.

Cheers
