Subject: [ros-users] URDF Gazebo problem

Hi,
Can anyone give me a short example (with one or two joints) how to use
URDF together with gazebo?
There are a lot of examples for the pr2 robot but no example how to
start with a simple and small system from the scratch.
I have a robot description in xml. I did all the parse and checking
stuff described in the tutorials. But now I want to read and write
angles to these joints which are described in the XML file and want to
see the movements in the simulation. How can I do that?

Thanxs for any help
Andreas

I spawn the XML model of the robot sucessfully into gazebo but when I
start rviz all the tf's are missing.
