hi, i also need to simulate the Mecanum wheels of my robot in gazebo, and also use the urdf file, when i reference the gazebo plugin which i coded myself in urdf, i got problems. It said has incorrect sdf format. <gazebo> <controller:wheel name="wheel_controller" plugin="/home/gazebo_plugin_annie/build/libwheel.so"><platform>platform</platform> <wheel1>wheel1</wheel1> <wheel2>wheel2</wheel2> <wheel3>wheel3</wheel3> <wheel4>wheel4</wheel4> <w12>w12</w12> <w22>w22</w22> <w32>w32</w32> <w42>w42</w42> </controller:wheel> </gazebo>

and i tried another version and it seems not working neither.. <plugin name="wheel" filename="/home/gazebo_plugin_annie/build/libwheel.so"/>

Can you tell me how you reference it in your urdf file?

thanks in advance. Shengnan Chen
