spawn and control a robot in Gazebo

Hello,

I am doing this Tutorial Using a URDF in Gazebo/ Preliminary tutorial on how to spawn and control your robot in Gazebo http://wiki.ros.org/urdf/Tutorials/Using%20a%20URDF%20in%20Gazebo. I do understand how to control a robot via ROS. But I want to add a link and remove it using ROS topics. How can I do this?

Hi @mimo, are you looking at changing your urdf programmatically and dynamically? In other words adding and removing links by sending ROS messages? If so, please refer to this previous question: https://answers.ros.org/question/339502/how-to-dynamically-modify-robot-urdf/
