Gazebo Benchmarking

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In order to set up a working simulation of ATRIAS capable of real-time 
computation it is important to be aware of the capabilities and limitations of 
gazebo and ODE.
Therefore the spring-mass model should be implemented and run in gazebo and be 
compared to results in other simulation environments.
This will also enable us to choose a time-step that is necessary to enable both 
fast and accurate simulation.
I ask the lab members working on the simulation to consider implementing the 
model in Gazebo or supervising a new student of doing so. Please contact me for 
remarks and comments.

Working with Andrew on testing the spring-mass model in Gazebo.

with a timestep of 0.001 a reasonable periodic solution is produced.
