Hello, I am virtualizing in virtual box a copy of ubuntu 11.10 for a robotics class. I have ros electric installed. I have 3d acceleration enabled. My problem is whenever I load a model from the urdf tutorials into gazebo, such as the visual robot, it is not rendered. Either nothing is rendered or only the root link is rendered. \ Simple objects such as the tables or primitives are rendered.
The models in the URDF tutorials are not meant for Gazebo, only RViz.
You probably need to add <inertial> properties to all links in order to visualize them in gazebo
This really is ridiculous:
Even for virtual links like plate_footprint or if you wanna have more dof at one joint you need at least to add inertial and a mass value and an inertia of none zero:
<link name="plate_footprint" >
<inertial>
<origin rpy="${0} 0 0" xyz="0.0 0.0 0.0"/>
<mass value="0.001" />
<inertia ixx="0.001" ixy="0" ixz="0" iyy="0.001" iyz="0" izz="0.001" />
</inertial>

Please be more specific when asking a question, i.e. reference models you are having trouble with. In general, if you would like to dynamically simulate things in gazebo, you need to add physical properties (e.g. inertial elements), see http://ros.org/wiki/urdf/Tutorials/Adding%20Physical%20and%
One of the models was called visual, which was my reference. its the end result of the building a visual robot model in urdf from scratch. its in the urdf_tutorial package with the model name 05-visual.urdf. Do all links need physical properties to be visible or only the main link?
all links.
