I am trying to include a static camera model to a kitchen world and save them using rosbag. However when i launch the world file, the camera doesn't seem to be loaded as there are no rostopics for that camera nor I can see the camera in gazebo simulator. I am using ROS hydro on Ubuntu 12.04.

I also looked at the camera available in the gui tag, but I don't if there is any way to save those images. What am I doing wrong, please help me with it.

I also tried adding camera model using the include tag, but if i put a tutlebot_gazebo in it too, an error comes that "Sensors failed to initialize when loading model[mobile_base]." Is it that the cameras are generated to the same rostopic /camera/rgb/image_raw ?? If so, how can i get the images of the camera into a new rostopic ?

<include>
    <uri>model://camera</uri>
    <pose>-21 -11 12 0 0.44 0.35</pose>
    <name>camera2</name>
</include>

So how do i get a rostopic for the include camera part ?? I think this will solve all my problems
