How can implement for loop concept in gazebo to spawn multiple robot model? For example:

<include file="$(find manycar)/launch/azcar.launch">
<arg name="robot_num" value="1"/>
<arg name="init_pose" value="-x 1 -y 1 -z 0 -Y 1.57 "/>
</include>

I want to iterate above code n times, variable being robot_num's value. How should I do that?

Maybe you could use embedded ruby the same way it can be used for SDF.

See this SDF example where wheels are generated in a for loop for a cart.

Years passed, the link https://bitbucket.org/osrf/gazebo_mod... looks broken to me.

There's no a direct way to loop, but you can think about writing a luanch file where you spawn N instances of the same robot.

Pay attention to add <group> tag for each one and to use different name (ns argument).
