I'm trying to simulate a tricycle robot using Gazebo that comes with ROS. I know how to create the simulation model that, however I've been unable to control the robot's movement. From what I've understood from the tutorials and forums, I need to create a plugin. To do so, I've tried to follow this tutorial: http://ros.org/wiki/simulator_gazebo/Tutorials/GazeboPluginIntro . However, I've been unable to compile the simple_world_plugin.

Does anyone know of a better step by step tutorial regarding this issue?

Thank you for your attention.

Are you on ROS electric or fuerte? The plugin API changed between versions, so that could explain your error.

The tutorial you reference says it is for ROS Fuerte, which has an entirely new version of Gazebo (1.0).

You should probably upgrade to Fuerte, then try the tutorial again.

I using ROS Fuerte with Ubuntu 12.04 but still i has a similar problem. I follow, step by step, the instructions on http://ros.org/wiki/simulator_gazebo/Tutorials/GazeboPluginIntro

but when i type "rosmake" I get an error :

/home/daniel/ros_workspace/gazebo_tutorials/src/simple_world_plugin.cpp:1:20: fatal error: gazebo.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.

I tried to update ROS by typing "sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-desktop-full" but still, the problem remains.

a better step by step tutorial is definitely needed.

This seems like a new question. It is hard to answer an "answer" in this forum. Would you mind asking it as a separate question?

you're probably right, I will open a new question.
