Gazebo initial error #112

Closed ilaplace closed 7 years ago

ilaplace commented 7 years ago

Hello there, whenever I start baxter gazebo I'm getting this error although simulation the starts:

[ERROR] [1490634846.719733201]: Could not find parameter robot_base_description on parameter server
[ERROR] [1490634846.725947716]: RobotURDF: Parameter /robot_base_description could not be found/read
[ERROR] [1490634846.725990169]: robot_state_publisher:  failed to initialize!

Any idea what’s this about?

Have you cloned the mutable_robot_state_publisher into your workspace? I would recommend against using it in its current form, and just use the standard robot_state_publisher provided by ROS. Remove it from your workspace, then remove the build/ and devel/ directories, and rebuild:

$ source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash
$ catkin_make
$ ./baxter.sh sim

You are right I've downloaded mutable_state_publisher in order to replace Baxter's gripper with Allegro Hand. Nonetheless your advice didn't work for me I'm still getting the same error. :sob:

Alrighty - let's move this discussion back to the BRR-forum. The issue at hand is likely just how your workspace is set up. Please try creating a fresh workspace using this tutorial: http://sdk.rethinkrobotics.com/wiki/Simulator_Installation
