Could not find parameter robot_description on parameter server

[abdul-mannan-khan]

Let me start with bundle of thanks for writing this wonderful code for the roboticists; it is very useful and helpful.

I am trying to launch a file by the command

roslaunch rrbot_control rrbot_control.launch

but I am getting this error

Could not find parameter robot_description on parameter server.

I tried to follow this method but https://answers.ros.org/question/198929/running-controller_manager-spawner-with-mybotrobot_description/ but it did not workout.

I shall be very thankful to you if you could please put some light on it. It will save lots of my time.

Thank You.

General tech question like this should be asked on Gazebo's forum :)

@u04617 Which version of Gazebo do you use? Gazebo 8?

[HailinRen]

@ChenYunan I am using gazebo 8 and met same issue. Have you solved that?

[ChenYunan]

@HailinRen Nope. I think maybe something in URDF is unsupportted with the Gazebo.
