Package Summary
The Kinematics and Dynamics Library (KDL) defines a tree structure to represent the kinematic and dynamic parameters of a robot mechanism. kdl_parser provides tools to construct a KDL tree from an XML robot representation in either the URDf format or the Collada format.

What is the KDL parser
If you want to take advantage of the powerful features of the Kinematics and Dynamics Library, the kdl parser provides an easy way to construct a full KDL Tree object. Starting from either a URDF xml description or a Collada xml description of your robot, the kdl parser automatically generates a KDL Tree.
