I have tried to use these command but failed when I run second command. If I only run the first one,it will success to import PR2.

 roslaunch pr2_gazebo pr2_empty_world.launch
 roslaunch pr2_gazebo pr2.launch

first terminal:

 [base_hokuyo_node-15] process has died [pid 32688, exit code -11].
 log files: /home/sam/.ros/log/f2be307a-c32b-11e0-98f4-20cf30a2382f/base_hokuyo_node-15*.log

another terminal:

pr2_empty_world.launch includes pr2.launch, so you are in effect launching some of the nodes twice, hence the errors. You have to setup something like the multi_robot_test.launch instead.

There is a multi_robot_test.launch that works with trunk of simulator_gazebo. It starts up 3 robots under separate ros namespaces.

I basically started with standard pr2_empty_world.launch and namespaced nodes / added tf_prefixes.

robots spawn and pieces of it are controllable if you configure your teleop to work under a namespace, but otherwise much of this is untested.

I don't know if this is enough to make it work, but you should put each pr2 that your start in its own namespace and possibly set the tf_prefix. Otherwise there will be multiple nodes with the same name (which is probably why the processes are dying).

What should I change? src or launch file? Is there any tutorials about this? Thank you~

Don't change any sources. The best would be to create a launch file including both in a namespace. You can try from console with environment variables ROS_NAMESPACE set first.

I use two terminal has different namespace by `export ROS_NAMESPACE=test` and `export ROS_NAMESPACE=test2`.But when I run `roslaunch pr2_gazebo pr2_empty_world.launch`and`roslaunch pr2_gazebo pr2.launch`,I got an error:Service call failed: service [/gazebo/spawn_urdf_model] responded with an error.

I'd recomment putting gazebo in the / namesapce and both PR2s in the test(1/2) namespaces and I should add that I never tried multiple PR2s in gazebo.
