How to load kuka iiwa R820 in ROS gazebo?

Question

I tried this code, it never worked..

Answer 1

First, you're not going to be able to call a launch file directly since it isn't an executable, just a markdown that roslaunch uses. Second, the reason it doesn't launch is because there is no built package called iiwa_gazebo in your workspace. You need to ensure the package is actually in catkin_ws/src. This means making sure the package.xml and CMakeLists.txt for the package are actually defining it as such.

As a side note, I noticed that your last question was about Ubuntu 20.04 and the only iiwa_ros package that exists targets Kinetic. This might not directly cause any errors, but it certainly isn't recommended.
