viewurdf

A dead simple URDF viewer that justs works.

Skeleton Mode

One of the main goals of viewurdf is to provide a useful visualization even when the URDF's mesh files are missing. This is done using skeleton mode, which removes all existing visual and collision components from the URDF and replaces them with simple primitives.

Install

It is recommended to use uv or pipx to automatically install the tool into an isolated environment.

# preferably:
uv tool install viewurdf
# or
pipx install viewurdf

# if you must:
pip install viewurdf

Usage

# basic usage: starts a viser server, view in your browser
viewurdf <file.urdf>

# skeleton mode: if you don't have all the assets referenced in the URDF
viewurdf -s <file.urdf>
