    I want to put my robot on a movable object but I have the Immovable tag enabled on the base_link. Is there a way to move the object with the Robot attached?

    To move the rigid body you need to use Physics APIs to move the articulation body. Is the base is immovable the robot will not move. You can follow this project https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/Robotics-Find-and-Ferry to see how it can be achieved.
    You would need either a RigidBody or Articulation Body base to move the robot.

    Hi @vidurVij-Unity, the Robotics Find and Ferry github project you linked does not seem to be available. The website shows a 404 - page not found - error.
