youbot hello world example arm not moving.

I have ROS Hydro. I installed the ROS wrapper for youbot, and when I run the hello world example, the base moves but the arm doesn't. I am trying to simulate it in gazebo. I did: roslaunch youbot_gazebo_robot youbot.launch then I did: rosrun youbot_ros_hello_world youbot_ros_hello_world I am also having error loading the urdf material but I don't think that is the reason.

I have tried giving: rostopic pub /arm_1/arm_controller/position_command brics_actuator/JointPositions '{positions:[ {joint_uri: arm_joint_1, unit: rad, value: 1.0}]}' but the arm doesn't move.

My output looks like this:

You are not able to simulate in Gazebo using youbot_ros_hello_world because that file is publishing arm and gripper data on the topic "arm_1/arm_controller/position_command" and "arm_1/gripper_controller/position_command" respectively (you could check this in youbot_ros_hello_world code) whereas no such topic exist while running simulation in Gazebo. You could check it by running following command:

//run gazebo:

$ roslaunch youbot_gazebo_robot youbot.launch

//check topics

$ rostopic list

Topics on which you need to publish data are as give below:

For arm: /arm_1/arm_controller/command

For gripper: /arm_1/gripper_controller/command

Also, these topics have different message type associated with it which could be checked using following command:

$ rostopic info <topic_name>

You can check the data you need to publish for above msg type using following command:

$ rosmsg show <msg_type>

Hence, all you need to do is to publish right data in the format of message type associated with the right topic. Use the package given in the following link:

You know how I can move the arm with python, please help me by explaining why I can't find information on how to fill all the parameters of joint_position
