Changes Made
The alpha_bringup/launch/alpha.launch.py was crashing when using the simulation option.
As it can be found on the forum ROS Answers, the original format <mesh filename="package://alpha_description/meshes/[FILE].stl" /> to call the meshes is not suported by gazebo, just by RVIZ, so the simulation was not working properly. So, it was updated to <mesh filename="file://$(find alpha_description)/meshes/[FILE].stl" />, which support both RVIZ and Gazebo.
The file updeted were alpha_description/urdf/end_effectors/standard_jaws.urdf.xacro
and alpha_description/urdf/alpha.urdf.xacro
Also, it was found that the README.md instructions pointed for the wrong SSH path and owner of the repository.
Associated Issues
No associated Issues.
Testing
The alpha_bringup/launch/alpha.launch.py was tested both with use_sim=true and use_sim=false
