There are several ways of using Unity for robotics. Robotics for Unity is a new field and support is still custom made. Most of the applications out there are proprietary software created by private companies and not easily accessible or configurable by others. ROS support has been recently introduced by Unity itself, and it is a fork from a previous library from Siemens' RosSharp. In my setup, I used the Unity ROS library which works with the latest ArticulationBody types.
