Unable to See ICUB in Gazebo After Starting YARP Server

[aatish1741]

Hi everyone,

I’m currently facing an issue while trying to load the "gazebo tutorial_joint-interface.sdf" in Gazebo. On my first terminal, I’ve successfully launched the yarpserver (which seems to be running fine), but when I try to open the Gazebo simulation in the second terminal, I am unable to see the ICUB model in the Gazebo environment.
I’ve tried rebuilding the Robotology Superbuild several times, but the problem persists.
Could anyone kindly assist me in resolving this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Can you report the output of gazebo? Thanks!

Hello, i am uploading the images of my Gazebo screen, yarpserver which i think is working fine, and my other terminal; which has gazebo tutorial_joint-interface.sdf opened, but even that is not giving me the results.

Interesting. Probably it is better to run gazebo with the --verbose option to get full output, anyway it seems that somehow the models folder are not there in the GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH. Are you sure that the ROBOTOLOGY_USES_GAZEBO option is on? Did you source the setup.sh of the superbuild? Can you report the output of the env command?

hello, I am a bit new to all these things, can you explain to me in simple terms like what exactly is this gazebo model path? where do we have it? also till yesterdat i was doing all this cloning and building in my root directory, only yesterday i got to know that we are not supposed to do it in root as it has some admin issues, so i created a new "myuser" and will clone everything again in that.

The GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH is an environment variable that is set by the setup.sh file of the robotology-superbuild. After you source the setup.sh of the superbuild, you can check if it set by running echo $GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH after sourcing the setup.sh.
