# Description
The iri_dabo_description ROS package contains physical descriptions of the Dabo robot built at IRI.
The following files are provided:
* Main xacro file to import the robot.
* Other Xacro macros with all the elements available on the robot.
* description.launch: loads the robot description with the appropiate model
and creates an instance of the robot_state_publisher ROS node. It has these
arguments:
* node_name: (default: robot) base name given to the platform
related nodes.
* model: (default: segway_example) name of the xacro file to include.
* static_wheels: (default: false) publishes static transforms for wheel links, useful with the real robot when there is no joint information available
* test.launch: loads the description launch and shows the model in Rviz

The following files are provided:
* dabo.xacro: an example xacro file of how to include the xacro
macro.
This package also includes two launch files intended to simplify the use
both the real and the simulated robot:
