Empty model spawned in Gazebo [Kinova mico/jaco xacro]

I am trying to simulate a Kinova robot in gazebo. I wrote a basic launch file to bring up the robot (code below). The robot is not visible in the world. The robot name is visible in the models but the links are empty. I tried it for different .xacro files in [kinova description](https://github.com/Kinovarobotics/kinova-ros/tree/master/kinova_description/urdf) with same result. *This launch file works for pr2.urdf.xacro.*  I used the same .xacro file for moveit setup assistant and it worked as expected. What is going wrong in here? How can I successfully spawn the model in gazebo?
