gazebo crash when I roslaunch pr2_empty_world

asked 2012-08-28 12:13:02 -0500

I just installed ubuntu 12.04 and ROS fuerte. When I run 'roslaunch pr2_gazebo pr2_empty_world.launch' the entire pr2 model is not showed up on screen.

I only installed ROS and PR2 simulator package. Is there anybody helps me?

The terminal shows following messages:

Can you do "unset OGRE_RESOURCE_PATH" and try again? If gazebo still crashes, can you do "roslaunch gazebo_worlds debug.launch" then type "bt" at the gdb prompt after crashing: "(gdb) bt" and post all outputs? thanks.

I did "unset OGRE_RESOURCE_PATH". Still it crashes. I also did "roslaunch gazebo_worlds debug.launch". It was not crash. The crash is only happen when I launch pr2 things~ Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi, I am trying to make debugging process easier, can you take a look at this page (http://ros.org/wiki/simulator_gazebo/Troubleshooting) and fill in some more details as mentioned by the second half of the wiki here? Thanks.

[This question is almost a year old, but I still wanted to add my answer].

I also noticed this happening with

roslaunch pr2_gazebo pr2_empty_world.launch

which spawns the PR2 itself, so I tried spawning it myself in an empty world after reducing the solver step size and voilà!

So, while I guess it's not recommended to alter the file I'm about to mention, my solution is nonetheless, the following:

rosed gazebo_worlds empty.world

and change

<dt>0.001</dt>

to something like

<dt>0.0001</dt>

And then, whenever you launch the simulator, you just wait until everything has loaded and just set back the step size to whichever you prefer.

I encountered the same problem and i solved by killing the server and client first and launch again

killall gzclient

killall gzserver

i also met this problem. you can try this instead: roslaunch manipulation_worlds pr2_table_object.launch this works for me. if you want an empty world, you can delete the table and object things in the pr2_table_object.launch. i think it is very straightforward. hope that helps~

I also have the same problem but with my robot called excavaBOT. In my case, this problem only happen when I launch a controller of base (base_controller, this controller is similar to the controller base of PR2), I also commend you that I've developed other controllers but in this particular controller I have the problem. Besides, it is curious that problem I only met in Fuerte and not in Diamonback. Therefore, I think that the problem is associated with the spawn process of controllers. Anybody has idea about the solution? Thanks
