I understand that there is a ROS stage limitation of support where a robot is only allowed to have "rangers with 1 sensor only." As referenced here. As well as a rename of the Laser to rangers type, as referenced here.

Then how do I create a robot model to the specifications of my physical robot which will be compatible with ROS Stage 4.1.1? See here for breakdown of S1R. I have a mix of sonar, IR, and laser rangefinder. Currently, I would have to strip it down and only have one sensor on it, and I certainly don't want to do that.

What happened to the change in Stage that allowed multiple sensors as described in here?

The following world code is what I am working with:

include "S1R.inc"
include "hokuyo.inc"

S1R

  # can refer to the robot by this name
  name "r0"
  pose [ 1.20 2.00 0 150 ]

    color "gray"
    pose [0.04 0.00 -0.11 0]
  )

  alwayson 1
  localization "gps"
  localization_origin [ 0 0 0 0 ]
  laser_return 0
)

  scale 150.0
     # pixels per meteri
