Gazebo: Failed to create robot simulation interface loader
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Hello,
I am currently following the gazebo tutorials in the Franka Control Interface documentation.
I installed franka-ros from the ROS repositories with the following command:
sudo apt install ros-noetic-libfranka ros-noetic-franka-ros
The franka-gazebo package was missing so I installed myself.
When I now try to run:
roslaunch franka_gazebo panda.launch
I get the following error:
[ INFO] [1641851266.573617743]: gazebo_ros_control plugin is waiting for model URDF in parameter [/panda/robot_description] on the ROS param server.
[FATAL] [1641851266.676289907]: Failed to create robot simulation interface loader: Could not find library corresponding to plugin franka_gazebo/FrankaHWSim. Make sure the plugin description XML file has the correct name of the library and that the library actually exists.
Thank you for your help!
Seems like an error on our side.
As a quick fix I would suggest you to remove franka-ros completely with
sudo apt remove ros-noetic-franka-ros
and clone the github repo and build everything from source.
Hi,
I noticed the exact same error also with Melodic. But the source install seems to quickly fix this problem.
Probably related to #175. If so, this is already fixed on develop. Once we release the next version, this will be fixed on apt as well
Hi @hennking98, we recently released franka_ros 0.8.2 which contains the fix for your issue. So now also sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade should fix your issue. The new version is already on Noetic, for Melodic it might take a while to go to upstream.
If problem persists, feel free to reopen
