Autodesk Fusion has always been popular within robotics community for robot design. It is an important needs for the community to export robot model for simulation from design.

 

Tools like fusion2urdf, fusion2pybullet lacks of update and maintenance. Otherwise, the format URDF (Unified Robot Description Format) itself has a lot limitations and the specifications has stopped development.

After the birth of URDF, several things has changed. Some new simulators such as MuJoCo, Nvidia Isaac come out and learning method becomes important for robotics. A new tool to satisfy these new situations becomes necessary.

So, we are excited to announce a new tool here that can export robot description formats including URDF, SDF (Simulation Description Format), and MJCF from Autodesk Fusion design directly: ACDC4Robot. It is an open sourced add-in and provides a robot design model library to trigger you simulation process more easier.

Recently, ACDC4Robot launched at Autodesk Fusion app store, which makes it convenient to install.

Hope you can enjoy it. Please share ACDC4Robot to anyone you know need this tool.

 

Also, if you are interesting about robot description format and ACDC4Robot, or you have suggestions about ACDC4Robot, it is very pleasure to invite you to fill out a survey so that can help us to understand the needs in the community.
