I have solved this problem by downloading the package ur_modern_driver from https://github.com/ThomasTimm/ur_mode... instead of the package from Universal Robots (ur_driver)

What I'm trying to do is getting the UR5 talking to ROS, i experience a problem with executing the node test_move.py after bringing up the UR5 and had no trouble with that using this command

roslaunch ur_bringup ur5_bringup.launch robot_ip:=192.168.1.200 [reverse_port:=50001] and also got a message saying " Robot connected"

But trying to run the node test_move.py in a different window , it only showes "waiting for server..." and it never execute it.

I'm using Indigo and firmware version 1.8. Any idea on how can i fix this problem?

Thank you very much in advance

Thank for pointing that out, i have edited the title now, hope this will be more detailed.

I have downloaded the packages for both the ur5 and the husky from github on my workspace (my_ws)

Husky: https://github.com/husky/husky

UR5 :https://github.com/ros-industrial/universal_robot

and when typing this command to launch description.launch file.

roslaunch husky_description description.launch model:='$(find husky_description)/urdf/husky.urdf.xacro'D

I get this error message :

Invalid <param> tag: Cannot load command parameter [robot_description]: command [/opt/ros/indigo/share/xacro/xacro.py '/home/ros/my_ws/src/husky/husky_description/urdf/description.xacro'     laser_enabled:=false     ur5_enabled:=false     kinect_enabled:=false     ] returned with code [1]. 

Param xml is <param command="$(find xacro)/xacro.py '$(env HUSKY_DESCRIPTION)'     laser_enabled:=$(arg laser_enabled)     ur5_enabled:=$(arg ur5_enabled)     kinect_enabled:=$(arg kinect_enabled)     " name="robot_description"/>
The traceback for the exception was written to the log file

I appreciate the help.

I have a UR5 arm and a Husky robot, both of them has URDF files, but i want to combine them so it becomes one URDF file for both robots any help please?
