fanuc_driver certainly publishes RobotStatus messages.

The thing to realise is that many of the industrial_robot_client-based drivers extend the base nodes in industrial_robot_client. The code in fanuc_driver for instance only makes the necessary changes for those generic nodes to work with the Fanuc server code in fanuc_driver.

I have the same issue with the abb_robot_driver which also does not seem to publish to the robot_status topic.

That driver indeed does not publish any RobotStatus messages. It's on the TODO list of the maintainers, but so far hasn't been implemented.
