What is the KDL parser

If you want to take advantage of the powerful features of the Kinematics and Dynamics Library, the kdl parser provides an easy way to construct a full KDL Tree object. Starting from either a URDF xml description or a Collada xml description of your robot, the kdl parser automatically generates a KDL Tree.
