Probably because controller_manager is not installed.

Fix:

sudo apt install ros-kinetic-controller-manager

In general, it's best to use rosdep to install missing packages. I'm going to assume that:

  • you are using ROS kinetic
  • your catkin workspace is ~/catkin_ws
  • you've checked out gazebo_ros_demos (which includes rrbot_control) into ~/catkin_ws/src/gazebo_ros_demos

Then do this:

source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash
sudo rosdep init
rosdep update
cd ~/catkin_ws/src
rosdep install -i --from-paths .

This will install all missing dependencies for you, and should work on 99% of all ROS packages.

Good answer. Just to keep things connected: #q252478.

My "test1.launch" file is under the "rrnot_control" folder. my "rrbot_control" is under the "my_gazebo" folder.when i "cd ~/catkin_ws/src/my_gazebo" run these"source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash sudo rosdep init rosdep update cd ~/catkin_ws/src rosdep install -i --from-paths " is that right?

Usage: rosdep [options] <command> <args> Commands: rosdep check <stacks-and-packages>... check if the dependencies of package(s) have been met. rosdep install <stacks-and-packages>... generate a bash script and then execute it. rosdep db .... rosdep: error: no packages or stacks specified,why??
