I have a system that generates the urdf based on a hardware scan. Ideally robot_state_publisher should retry a few times (or after a given delay) before failing.

If you submit a pull request with a proposed way of accomplishing this I'd be happy to review it. I'm not sure I'll have time to implement myself.
