problem with controller_manager

HIi, I am trying to simulate a biped robot in gazebo, I am done till creating description files and able to launch and visualise my robot model. Problem is I am not able to control the robot.I have given all joint parameters in the control files but when it comes to the simulation nothing related to controllers shows up.

bittu@bittu-HP-Pavilion-Notebook:~/humanoid_ws$ rostopic list
/clock
/gazebo/link_states
/gazebo/model_states
/gazebo/parameter_descriptions
/gazebo/parameter_updates
/gazebo/set_link_state
/gazebo/set_model_state
/humanoid/joint_states
/rosout
/rosout_agg
/tf
/tf_static

I referred to some of the solutions in the forum but couldn't solve the problem. Can you please guide me out of this problem!!

I'm going to ask the obvious question here: did you load any plugins into Gazebo that actually make use of all those "control files"?

Yes sir, I have added gazebo_ros_control plugin in .gazebo file

<gazebo>
<plugin name="gazebo_ros_control" filename="libgazebo_ros_control.so">
</plugin>
</gazebo>
