I'm working on the 'Using roslaunch to start Gazebo, world files and URDF models' Tutorial and stuck at the '"ROS Service Call" Robot Spawn Method' section. The command of " rosrun gazeboros spawnmodel -file rospack find MYROBOT_description/urdf/MYROBOT.urdf -urdf -x 0 -y 0 -z 1 -model MYROBOT " results with the following error:

[rospack] Error: package 'MYROBOTdescription' not found spawnmodel script started Unable to register with master node [http://localhost:11311]: master may not be running yet. Will keep trying.

Awaiting for any advice, Haz88

I met the same error. I solved it. I first run the command:roslaunch MYROBOT_gazebo MYROBOT.launch, then in another terminal I run the command:rosrun gazebo_ros spawn_model -file rospack find baxter_description/urdf/baxter.urdf -urdf -z 1 -model baxter, then I can see the baxter in the gazebo world. I don't know the reason, I guess it's caused by the mechanism of spawn_model. Wish it help.
