Revision history [back]

You need the inertial tag to properly load a model in Gazebo (but not for rivz, that's why you are able to visulaize the urdf with rviz), there is typos in your code : instead of inertial you wrote inertia. Also the cylinder_inertia or box_inertial_matrix don't exist, check the wiki to see the elements inside the inertial tag.
