[Robotics] COLLADA 1.5 armature support?

[William Hilton]

Hi Severin,
I started looking at the actual XML, and have decided COLLADA is more
complicated than I would have thought! There may be multiple ways to define
an armature, and maybe my .dae file doesn't do it in a way Blender
understands. Honestly, I don't know if the problem lies in Blender's
import. For all I know, it could be in how OpenRAVE exports the model to
.dae.

Here's the file I am trying to use. It's 6MB so I'll put it in Google Docs.
