Re: How to set joint origin when using pb.createMultiBody()

You can use linkPositions and linkOrientations for this. The naming is confusing, it is the joint origin/orientation with respect to the parent.

Re: Model keeps swinging back and forth and is not fixed to the ground

You should fix the base, using the 'useFixedBase=True' option in pybullet.loadURDF Alternatively, set the mass of the first (base) link to zero. See also the PyBullet quickstart guide for more info in general. https://docs.google.com/document/d/10sXEhzFRSnvFcl3XxNGhnD4N2SedqwdAvK3dsihxVUA/edit#headi...
