Hi,

Modelling robots for simulation with physics engines (ODE, Bullet etc) via simulators like gazebo, Vrep etc is still a very rough process as these simulators require robot description files like sdf, urdf etc. Fusion 360 has overwhelming momentum in the maker and robotics communities, now is the time to complete the pipeline of robot development via support for SDF and URDF formats in order to enable rapid deployment onto ROS-enabled simulators to test state of the art robotics software.

This issued has been brought up before here

This could be addressed via plugin for exporting sdf/urdf. Preferably this would include physics information i.e. mass, moments of inertia of parts computed according to their material etc.
