Seeking guidance on visualizing MyBuddy 280 robot in 3D Slicer with WLAN connection

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on integrating the MyBuddy 280 robotic arm by Elephant Robotics with 3D Slicer using the SlicerROS2 module. My goal is to visualize the robot in Slicer while simultaneously controlling it via WLAN sockets.

So far, I have been able to:

Connect the robot via WLAN and send/receive joint states.

Visualize the robot in RViz using ROS2, with movements of the physical robot accurately reflected in real time.

Prepare the URDF and DAE files for the robot model.

However, I am encountering difficulties when trying to visualize MyBuddy directly in Slicer. I would like to know if anyone here has successfully visualized MyBuddy 280 (or a similar myCobot robot) in 3D Slicer.

Any guidance, tips, or example configurations for connecting a ROS2-controlled MyBuddy robot to Slicer would be greatly appreciated.
