chrono::ros::ChROSRobotModelHandler Class Reference
Description
This handler is responsible for publishing a robot model to be visualized in RViz RViz expects a string containing the robot model.
We don't really need to publish this at a high rate, so the update rate is set implicitly to a very large value. This effectively means it will only be published once. This is okay since we'll also set the QoS to be local transient, meaning late joiners will still receive the message even if it's already been published.
