Adding dummy base link

Introduction

If this processor is enabled, a dummy base called base_link will be added in your robot. The base will be attached to this link using a fixed joint.

config.json entries

{
    // ...
    // General import options (see config.json documentation)
    // ...

    // Add a dummy base link (default: false)
    "add_dummy_base_link": true
}

add_dummy_base_link (default: false)

If set to true, a dummy base link will be added to the robot.
