Hello,

I'm a new hand using ROS indigo. Now I'm trying to simulate a segway (Stanley RMP210) in Gazebo and control it moving on the screen. I've downloaded these packages: cd ~/segway_ws/src

git clone https://github.com/StanleyInnovation/segway_v3.git

git clone https://github.com/StanleyInnovation/segway_v3_robot.git

git clone https://github.com/StanleyInnovation/segway_v3_desktop.git

git clone https://github.com/StanleyInnovation/segway_v3_simulator.git

Then I try to follow other tutorials and run: roslaunch segway_gazebo segway_playpen.launch luckily, a segway in Gazebo shows up. However, some error occurs:

Looks like you may be missing some dependencies. For example, one of the errors appears to fail to find something in the effort_controllers package. You can install dependencies using rosdep. Could you try running "rosdep install -i --from-path ." in your source directory?

Thanks! You are right, after I installed sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-ros-control ros-indigo-ros-controllers It starts to work now!

Great! I'll add that as an answer so to this question so it is easier for people to see. Out of curiosity, what tutorial are you following to use the segway in simulation?

I had to re-open the question in order to add my comment as an answer, but you can close it again now.

Are these Gazebo models still available? I am unable to clone them.
