Revision history [back]

Ok I found out that there is a paramter for gazebo_ros_control plugin that needs to be changed when robot_description is launched inside a namespace, that fixes it. Besides that there could be issues with the spawn_model service, which is launched inside a namespace and therefore not visible for the node that spawns the model. Maybe namespacing the node too would solve this, for me its enough to launch the whole gazebo environment outside of the namespace.
