All of the robot models mentioned in this tutorial (and the source files) can be found in the `urdf_tutorial <https://index.ros.org/p/urdf_tutorial>`_ package.

To make sure the shapes defined in the urdf files are parsed correctly, the Linux environment variable ``LC_NUMERIC`` needs to be set to ``en_US.UTF-8``.
This has to be done every time you open a terminal:

.. code-block:: console
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
To permanently set this environment variable, execute the following command in a terminal:

.. code-block:: console
echo 'export LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"' >> ~/.bashrc
