Description
Hello, I am a really new user to glTF, I work with a robotics group at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and we were hoping to make use of glTF as a robot description format because of all the numerous advantages it has over other 3d object file description methods, we were looking to make an extension modeled after URDF data format and a converter to convert existing URDF data into glTF potentially. We would mainly be concerned with adding parameters for robot links, relevant physics values for different joints and joint motion types. Is this a reasonable extension or does something like this already exist?
Contributor guide
Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the glTF extension process and checking whether a robotics or URDF-related extension already exists. Clarify the proposed robot-link, joint-physics, motion-type, and URDF-conversion scope before implementation; done would require an agreed extension design and converter requirements.
