-Requirements: +With robotics playing a significant role in various domains, simulation is essential for developing and testing algorithms. Multiple simulators are available, each with its own specialized format (SDF, USD, MJCF, URDF, FBX) for describing scenes. This diversity of formats makes it challenging to transfer scenarios between simulators. Therefore, a versatile parser that can convert scene descriptions between these formats is highly valuable.
