Example

Launch the Gazebo environment (Environment is a custom build of my lab)

Execute the following command

roslaunch ur3e_dual_gazebo dual_ur3e_hlab.launch 

By default the robot used are the UR3e, but other UR robots can be easily set up by changing the argument ur_robot, valid option (ur3, ur5, ur10, ur3e, ur5e, ur10e)

roslaunch ur3e_dual_gazebo dual_ur3e_hlab.launch ur_robot:=ur5e

Launch MoveIt

Execute the following command

roslaunch ur3e_dual_moveit_config start_sim_dual_ur3e_moveit.launch 

Change the simulation environment

Update the URDF description of the environment ur3e_dual_gazebo/urdf/dual_ur_gripper_hande.xacro or create your own one
