I know we can do this in ROS-1, but I'm not exactly sure with the syntax in ROS2.

Just a small try I had given:

start_robot_state_publisher_cmd = Node(
    package='robot_state_publisher',
    executable='robot_state_publisher',
    name='robot_state_publisher',
    output='screen',
    parameters=[{'use_sim_time': use_sim_time, 'frame_prefix': 'robot1/', 'robot_description': Command([robot_desc,'tfpre:=', 'robot1/'])}],
    arguments=[urdf])

tf pre is the parameter I'm trying to pass. But, I'm certainly sure there is some mistake with this ,method.

One way to do it is as follow

import xacro
...
urdf = xacro.process_file(file_path, mappings={'tfpre': 'robot1/'}).toxml()
# Use urdf
