最近在做一款2轮差速的机器人小车，在做gazebo仿真的时候，发现小车一直在缓慢的后退，一边后退一边缓慢拐弯。

return ld小车实际重量在20公斤左右。
经测试，小车缓慢移动只和urdf文件惯性参数有关，就是下面这段代码：
<!-- 惯性特性，m后面是base_link重量 -->
<xacro:box_inertia m="0.2" w="${base_width}" d="${base_length}" h="${base_height}"/>
当我们把m=20，这里是国际单位公斤。以真实重量测试仿真小车。2-3秒钟后已经离开了出生的中心，并且后他的速度肉眼可见。
当我们把m=5，后退的速度明显减慢。当我们把base_link重量设到1公斤以下，小车不再移动。
我也找了小鱼讲课的代码，把base_link重量加到10，也会发生移动，说明这基本是普遍现象，只要把重量设小一点就不会影响实验效果了。
gazebo仿真是理想状态下仿真，在现实情况下车轴是有摩擦力的，所以真实的小车是不会动的，要想不动，应该也要给车轴加上摩擦力，但是我给支撑轮加上了摩擦力，效果也不是很明显，这也许是gazebo的bug，不过这超出了我们仿真的范围了 。
xacro写的模型文件简化了代码复用，但不能在gazeo和rviz2下直接运行，需要转换成urdf格式，转换方法看我xazro模型的备注，如果不转换按我的launch文件在启动前转换也能正常启动。
