Why my robot is lying down in gazebo simulator?

Question

this is my first post about ROS and Gazebo also I am new in ROS. I spawn KUKA robot in Gazebo using urdf file from KUKA github repository following answer from this question I spawned my urdf file in gazebo simulator and KUKA robot appeared in simulator but problem is that is lying down like is attached on floor for some reason. Here is picture in Gazebo:

This is my launch file:

<launch>
<!-- We resume the logic in empty_world.launch, changing only the name of the world to be launched -->
<include file="$(find gazebo_ros)/launch/empty_world.launch">
  <arg name="paused" value="false"/>
  <arg name="use_sim_time" value="true"/>
  <arg name="gui" value="true"/>
  <arg name="headless" value="false"/>
  <arg name="debug" value="false"/>
</include>
<node name="spawn_urdf" pkg="gazebo_ros" type="spawn_model" args="-file $(find kuka_kr210_support)/urdf/kr210l150.urdf -urdf -z 1 -model baxter" />
</launch>

EDIT: I fixed base link for the world, added transmission, controllers for each axis and gazebo plugin. now my urdf file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

and robot is just like hanging on base link, because base link is only one which has type=fixed and all other have type=revolute.

here is picture of hanging robot:

When I lift and release robot in gazebo using mouse, robot just fall down and axis are just shaking like there is no motor or any force which keeps them fixed.

It probably happens due to a difference in orientation of the World axes and the URDF axes. Can you share the URDF? — Akshay Kumar, Apr 9, 2019 at 20:34

Reason why robot is laying down is because in urdf file gravity is not turned off. When I add this part of the code to my urdf then robot is loaded in some position and is not falling down.

  <!-- Gazebo-specific link properties  -->
  <gazebo reference="${prefix}base_link">
    <material>Gazebo/Yellow</material>
    <turnGravityOff>true</turnGravityOff>
  </gazebo>
  <gazebo reference="${prefix}link_1">
    <material>Gazebo/Orange</material>
    <turnGravityOff>true</turnGravityOff>
  </gazebo>
  <gazebo reference="${prefix}link_2">
    <material>Gazebo/Orange</material>
    <turnGravityOff>true</turnGravityOff>
  </gazebo>  
  <gazebo reference="${prefix}link_3">
    <material>Gazebo/Orange</material>
    <turnGravityOff>true</turnGravityOff>
  </gazebo>
  <gazebo reference="${prefix}link_4">
    <material>Gazebo/Orange</material>
    <turnGravityOff>true</turnGravityOff>
  </gazebo>
  <gazebo reference="${prefix}link_5">
    <material>Gazebo/Orange</material>
    <turnGravityOff>true</turnGravityOff>
  </gazebo>
  <gazebo reference="${prefix}link_6">
    <material>Gazebo/Black</material>
    <turnGravityOff>true</turnGravityOff>
  </gazebo>

I am not sure that I want turned off gravity in simulation.

A. It seems your robot is not fixed to gazebo world so you have to add a joint to fix in gazebo environment. Add below content into your urdf file and child link should be your base link name.

B. Fine tune damping and friction values of dynamics tag for all joints in urdf file.

C. if more of your robot start vibrating than fine tune PID gain values from your either controller.yaml file or joint_parameter.yaml file.

look at this tutorial. You have to add some gazebo specific tag in URDF file.

This is happening for two reasons:

An "inertia" element within each "link" element must be properly specified and configured.
Maybe you don't have any proper controller for each joint. See http://wiki.ros.org/ros_control
