hello professors, when I try to use roslaunch command to run the robot, I found some problems that I can't solve it. The error shows that as followed :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/user/ros_workspace/arbotix/arbotix_python/nodes/driver.py", line 39, in <module>
from arbotix_python.follow_controller import FollowController
File "/home/user/ros_workspace/arbotix/arbotix_python/src/arbotix_python/follow_controller.py", line 32, in <module>
from control_msgs.msg import FollowJointTrajectoryAction
ImportError: No module named control_msgs.msg
[arbotix-1] process has died [pid 12272, exit code 1, cmd /home/user/ros_workspace/arbotix/arbotix_python/nodes/driver.py __name:=arbotix __log:=/home/user/.ros/log/dc7aa468-8815-11e3-98ad-ac72896c0c64/arbotix-1.log].
log file: /home/user/.ros/log/dc7aa468-8815-11e3-98ad-ac72896c0c64/arbotix-1*.log

I try to find control_msgs.msg on the internet, but I can't find it, if you have some information about this, please help me. Thanks again for your time.

And my launch file is as followed:

<launch>  
    <param name="/use_sim_time" value="false" />  

    <!-- Load the URDF/Xacro model of our robot -->  
    <arg name="urdf_file" default="$(find xacro)/xacro.py '$(find smartcar_description)/urdf/smartcar.urdf.xacro'" />  
    <arg name="gui" default="false" />  

    <param name="robot_description" command="$(arg urdf_file)" />  
    <param name="use_gui" value="$(arg gui)"/>  

    <node name="arbotix" pkg="arbotix_python" type="driver.py" output="screen">  
        <rosparam file="$(find smartcar_description)/config/smartcar_arbotix.yaml" command="load" />  
        <param name="sim" value="true"/>  
    </node>  

    <node name="joint_state_publisher" pkg="joint_state_publisher" type="joint_state_publisher" >  
    </node>  

    <node name="robot_state_publisher" pkg="robot_state_publisher" type="state_publisher">  
        <param name="publish_frequency" type="double" value="20.0" />  
    </node>  

     <!-- We need a static transforms for the wheels -->  
    <node pkg="tf" type="static_transform_publisher" name="odom_left_wheel_broadcaster" args="0 0 0 0 0 0 /base_link /left_front_link 100" />  
    <node pkg="tf" type="static_transform_publisher" name="odom_right_wheel_broadcaster" args="0 0 0 0 0 0 /base_link /right_front_link 100" />  

    <node name="rviz" pkg="rviz" type="rviz" args="-d $(find smartcar_description)/urdf.vcg" />  
</launch>

You most likely need to install the control_msgs package, on ubuntu, you can do this with:

 sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-control-msgs

(If you are on groovy rather than hydro, use ros-groovy-control-msgs)

Did you have to do some sort of rosdep install?

rosdep should not be involved, but if this is your first time setting up ros you do have to add the apt sources and get the key. If you have a specific error, please open a new question.
