I'd initially thought that every joint which needs to be actuated needs to be accompanied by a transmission tag in the urdf and needed to be interfaced with gazebo through a controller plugin But I came across fetch robot (https://github.com/fetchrobotics/fetch_ros/blob/indigo-devel/fetch_description/robots/fetch.urdf) which works completely fine without any sign of transmission tags anywhere. I'm trying to emulate this setup exactly for my robot (a combination of Pioneer3DX and a 7DOF arm) but it's failing. What am I missing? How does the fetch robot control joints without transmission tags?
