Migrating KUKA youbot Gazebo simulation from Fuerte to Melodic ROS

Hi there, I am trying to run and simulate the KUKA robot in gazebo simulation. the original package is based on Electric/fuerte ROS, the real robot comes with one of the old distributions..

currently I am able to bring up the gazebo alone but everything related to the Kuka robot is either an error or it's not working with many pakages not been found.

has anyone had such the thing already done? could give me a few tips or tell me what step to follow?

Looks like the mas-group fork has a kinetic-devel branch. That is much closer to Melodic than any of the releases you mention.

Thanks gvdhoorn for reply. do you mean that I should use the kinetic one and from there to move to melodic? have you done that?
