I was using ros-fuerte and ros-groovy before. I was using the PR2 robot. Now that I want to make the robot appear under ros-hydro but I'm having some troubles.

The first command I was using to load the gazebo environment

roslaunch gazebo_worlds empty_world.launch

And now in hydro is:

roslaunch gazebo_ros empty_world.launch

Gazebo is loading and working fine. Next is to load the robot, I was using:

 roslaunch pr2_gazebo pr2.launch

I've looked for the pr2.launch file and now it's in /opt/ros/hydro/share/pr2_bringup/pr2.launch so the command for ros-hydro should be

 roslaunch pr2_bringup pr2.launch

but it's not working. Any ideas?

The PR2 simulator is not yet supported on Hydro, and has not been released.

When it is released, that proper startup command will be:

roslaunch pr2_gazebo pr2.launch

Has this been already released? I could not find any debian package sounding like pr2_gazebo. If this is still up for release: Any guesstimated time for release? Is it possible to checkout the current devel branch of pr2_gazebo and give it a try?

I tried last week, it's not released yet. I have no idea when it's going to be released. But it's already a long time since hydro came out.

Basically, it seems there are quite some changes needed to have this running in Hydro. However, I have a feeling it will happen at some point in the future. See here for a discussion: http://lists.willowgarage.com/pipermail/pr2-users/2013-November/001830.html

Dear all, do you have any news about the update of the PR2 simulator to be compatible with Hydro? I just write here not to open a new thread just for this question.

With pr2_simulator from github (branch hydro-devel), it works ok for me (on some machines). Btw, when there will be indigo branch? ;)

I have no estimate on when there will be a release; there are still a number of unresolved issues in the hydro-devel branch. Since there are minimal changes between hydro and indigo, I expect that the hydro-devel branch will work on indigo.

Now I found it can work on hydro~
