Just use pr2_mechanism to write a plugin for your robot to control it in Gazebo. You could follow this tutorial: PR2 Mechanism. It's quite convenient to do your task with a Cartesian controller.

Gazebo can be run without GUI. Try to write a .world document including the model you need, run roscore, and then rosrun the .world document you have. If you want to use the GUI later, in another terminal run

/opt/ros/fuerte/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo/gazebo/bin/gzclient

But, I highly recommend you to buy a Graphics card for gazebo. It will only cost you about $30 to do this.

Hi, I'm trying to model things in simulator Gazebo. I found out that Gazebo does not detect self collision, that is, a link of a model can run into another link of the same model, but if the links are from different models, they will not run into each other. I tried to add

<selfCollide>true</selfCollide>

part into my urdf document, but it still won't work. How to turn on self collision detection in Gazebo?
