KUKA Youbot out-of-box support

Does Gazebo provide out-of-box support of KUKA youbot I am interested because this tutorial is out-dated http://youbot-store.com/simulation/12/software.aspx if so could you give a link to a webpage of document on this topic?

I have installed Gazebo from the debs yesterday,and youBot is included. Unfortunately, the ROS integration is not supported and I'm currently installing Gazebo from the sources.

I have to add some details to my answers, since I have learn and done a couple of things. So you can use youBot model from the robot database of Gazebo. You will have to develop a Gazebo plugin to control it. If you want the ROS integration, you will have to use the version of Gazebo compatible the tutorial from the youbot-store (which have been removed in the meantime). I'm currently working on my own on a youBot description for Gazebo 1.9 with ROS.

I have finally developed my own repo:

https://github.com/Arn-O/youbot_ros_tools

You should be able to run youBot with it.
