I'm trying to use the universal_robots_ros_driver ( https://github.com/UniversalRobots/Un...) package with a ur manipulator. However, I can't find any documentation regarding how to do this. All of their documentation, states how to setup ROS using real hardware. I just want to play around sending commands to a simulation. Could you please provide an examle (i.e. roslaunch ur_gazebo ur5.launch and launch the ur_control)?

Then it makes sense you can't find anything, as the driver is not used with Gazebo.

Only with real robots, or with ursim.

No, because as stated earlier, ur_robot_driver is not used with Gazebo.

So then there is no way to remap topic names or provide a ip_address of the robot in gazebo?

I don't understand your question.

Remapping topics is not something which only "works" when using the driver.

And only the driver uses IP addressing information, as it has to communicate with a UR controller. In the context of Gazebo, the IP address "of the robot" is not something which makes sense, as ROS topics / services / actions are used to communicate with the ros_control controllers running there.

Perhaps if you can provide some description of what it is you actually want to do, we can provide a better answer.

or atleast anyone say how to simulate it in gazebo by sending joint state coordinates
