|

whose origin is not inside the mesh. In contrast, MuJoCo expects the origin of a geom's local frame to coincide with the
|
||||
geometric center of the shape. We resolve this discrepancy by pre-processing the mesh in the compiler, so that it is
|
||||
centered around (0,0,0) and its principal axes of inertia are the coordinate axes. We also save the translation and
|
||||
rotation offsets needed to achieve such alignment. These offsets are then applied to the referencing geom's position and
|
||||
orientation; see also :at:`mesh` attribute of :ref:`geom <body-geom>` below. Fortunately most meshes used in robot
|
||||
models are designed in a coordinate frame centered at the joint. This makes the corresponding MJCF model intuitive: we
|
||||
set the body frame at the joint, so that the joint position is (0,0,0) in the body frame, and simply reference the mesh.
|

Below is an MJCF model fragment of a forearm, containing all the information needed to put the mesh where one would
|
||||
expect it to be. The body position is specified relative to the parent body, namely the upper arm (not shown). It is
|
||||
offset by 35 cm which is the typical length of the human upper arm. If the mesh vertex data were not designed in the
|
||||
above convention, we would have to use the geom position and orientation (or the new refpos, refquat mechanism) to
|
||||
compensate, but in practice this is rarely needed.
