Topic Description

I have a four-wheel robot car which’s joint damping is 1e6 and stiffness is zero. Setting both front_left_wheel and rear_left_wheel joint target velocity to 151 degree/s, front_right_wheel and rear_right_wheel joint target velocity to -151 degree/s . But wheel actually could not reach the joint target velocity.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Setting front_left_wheel and rear_left_wheel joint target velocity to 151 degree/s

  2. front_right_wheel and rear_right_wheel joint target velocity to -151 degree/s

  3. Run the simulation

  4. Click the wheel_link and observe the angular velocity whether if reach the target velocity

Hi, Can you give more details how to use your shared USD to reproduce the issue? I loaded it and the robot car didn’t spin as you shown in your video.
Also can you use the Asset Validator and enable JointStateChecker to valid your settings?
