how to make stronger joints
I add some code (inertial mass) to the robot example shown on the tutorial pages of Gazebo. But when I start simulation, the robot collapses. Any idea how tho make 'stronger' joints?

It is a matter of the joint controller, not the robot description itself. So either you need to modify the PID values or change the controller type (perhaps to JointPositionController?).
