[UUV Simulator] Including robot into a Gazebo world

edit

Hey everyone,

(I'm a beginner to ROS, Gazebo and UUV Simulator) I am doing the tutorial of UUV Simulator and in the section "Configuring the thruster manager for a new vehicle" I am getting the following error when I try to include my vehicle into the world:

baqueiro@baqueiro-Latitude-E6430:~/catkin_ws$ roslaunch baqtronic_description upload.launch

Check that:
 - Your XML is well-formed
 - You have the xacro xmlns declaration: xmlns:xacro="http://www.ros.org/wiki/xacro"

I'm using ROS Kinetic and Gazebo 9. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance :)
