Description-en: ROS joint_state_publisher
This package contains a tool for setting and publishing joint state values for
a given URDF. It publishes sensor_msgs/JointState messages for a robot. The
package reads the robot_description parameter, finds all of the non-fixed
joints and publishes a JointState message with all those joints defined.
.
It can be used in conjunction with the robot_state_publisher node to
also publish transforms for all joint states.
