RViz: Control PC cant load mesh files #50

Description

@sbstorz

Problem
When starting RViz on the control PC the robot visual geometry can not be loaded since the file path is unknown. The robot is not displayed.

Could not load resource... Unable to open file: "file:///home/scara/bioscara/lib/ros2_ws/..../base_link.stl

This makes sense because on the control PC the /home/scara/bioscara directory does not exist. Its username is "scara-dev"

To reproduce

  1. Start the robot control node on the robot controller
  2. Start RViz on the control PC

Workaround
Use RViz via X-forwarding directly on the robot controller

Solutions
Find out why the control PC attempts to load from the "scara" directory and fix this
