How to Modify a Running Gazebo Simulation?

This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >75 is welcome to improve it.

Hi all,

So I am using roslaunch command to simulate a simple Gazebo world file which contains some cubic obstacles. I have a question which I have not been able find any solution for: Once the simulation is up and running, can I add any objects to Gazebo simulation without having to use the graphical user interface? I am using ROS Hydro and Gazebo-1.9.

I would appreciate any kind of help.

Cheers,

Ali

There are at least two ways of doing this:

From the command line: using the gzfactory tool (look at the spawn parameter). The user guide described it perfectly.
Programmatically: using a world plugin as described in the corresponding tutorial

Hope it helps.
