I am very new to ROS and all the tools surrounding ROS. Currently, I am trying to setup a franka emika (panda) robot arm using moveit setup assistant. After that, I just wanna launch the robot in the Gazebo simulation using the command

roslaunch package_name gazebo.launch

However, as you can see below, the robot collapse when spawned.

Here are some of the messages capture in the terminal (shown in the picture below):

I have gone through past questions on similar problems online, but it seems like the files generated from the setup assistant is a little different, hence I wasn't able to locate what are the mistakes.

Below also I will attach the code for the robot urdf:

panda_arm.urdf.xacro:
