Carter robot caster Wheel not moving

Hello All,
I am playing around with the “Carter” robot. The caster wheels do not move. Why is that ?
Is there some joint property that needs to be set ?

Hi @quark01

Could you please extend your question?

Hello Toni,
I am uploading two screen shots one with Gazebo and one with Isaac Sim.
Note the physics of the caster wheel in Gazebo. I was expecting the same in Isaac sim.
They are the same URDF.

Hi @quark01

Importing a robot via the Isaac Utils > Workflows > URDF Importer extension will configure drivers for all prismatic and revolute joints (unless None is selected in the Joint Drive Type field).

Normally, caster wheels use drive-less joints.
Then, go to the caster’s joints and delete the Drive property

Example:

Also, you can check the Isaac Sim Carter URDF Example and inspect the caster wheel configuration
