Fixing Missing End Effector Link for UR-X URDF models - #167

…DF models fkine calculation

Grippers and end effectors are still WIP, some thoughts on the Wiki https://github.com/petercorke/robotics-toolbox-python/wiki/Grippers |

Thank you for your interest in RTB, and for catching this — missing end-effector links causing a crash on This PR (#167) predates a large amount of restructuring since 2021: the base class you're working against here ( The underlying concern is partially addressed today: |
Many of the manipulator robot models do not have clearly defined end-effector links. This causes a crash when calling robot.fkine(robot.q).
I have updated the UR-X models to resolve this by specifying explicitly the gripper links, and have added a unit test to cover this issue.
Please note that the unit test is still failing due to the other models not having end effector links specified, but I am not sufficiently versed in these models to determine how to fix them.
