Hi Ugo,
Friction is not modeled in ode at this point, if it's something you need, please file a feature request ticket here, and set simulator_gazebo as the component.  Modeling coulomb friction at a joint is possible in ODE, but has not been tested.
thanks,
John

 Hi all,

I'm currently trying to get a better control on our gazebo model of the
Hand. I'm having trouble finding any kind of documentation regarding the
parameters you can apply to a joint (e.g. friction). Is there a place I
could start with?

For the time being, my joints look like this:
 <joint name="trunk_rotation" type="revolute">
     <parent link="${parent}"/>
     <child link="shadowarm_trunk"/>
     <origin xyz="0 0 0.01" rpy="0 0 0" />
     <axis xyz="0 0 1" />
     <limit lower="-${M_PI/2}" upper="${M_PI/4}"
     effort="10" velocity="1.0"/>
     <dynamics damping="1"/>
 </joint>

You can add static friction to the dynamics joint element. This link documents all the valid elements for a URDF joint:

Cheers,

Ugo
