Hello, I just started learning ROS recently and I was going through the tutorial for Gazebo package. When I tried to follow the tutorial to spawn an object, even though I have already created the object.urdf file, the command in 2.3 returns the following: loading model xml from file Error: file does not exist

Does anybody know why this is happening?

Thanks! Tom

hello, change your directory to where your object.urdf file is then type this command below

rosrun gazebo spawn_model -file object.urdf -urdf -z 1 -model my_object

then i guess it is going to work
