Hi everyone,

After I launch gazebo.launch, the spawned model keep falling down to the floor, it seems controllers doesn't work. I did rosservice call /notspot_controller/controller_manager/list_controllers and it printed out: controller: [].

From terminal has warning: Controller Spawner couldn't find the expected controller_manager ROS interface., although I installed the needed package: sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-ros-control ros-melodic-joint-state-controller ros-melodic-effort-controllers ros-melodic-position-controllers ros-melodic-velocity-controllers ros-melodic-ros-controllers ros-melodic-gazebo-ros ros-melodic-gazebo-ros-control.

I have an urdf model notspot.urdf in here:

Have you seen the answer to question #q384611 ? It may help your understanding with ros controllers vs. moveit controllers.
