+## Declare ROS messages, services and actions ##
+################################################
+
+## To declare and build messages, services or actions from within this
+## package, follow these steps:
+## * Let MSG_DEP_SET be the set of packages whose message types you use in
+##   your messages/services/actions (e.g. std_msgs, actionlib_msgs, ...).
+## * In the file package.xml:
+##   * add a build_depend tag for "message_generation"
+##   * add a build_depend and a exec_depend tag for each package in MSG_DEP_SET
+##   * If MSG_DEP_SET isn't empty the following dependency has been pulled in
+##     but can be declared for certainty nonetheless:
+##     * add a exec_depend tag for "message_runtime"
+## * In this file (CMakeLists.txt):
+##   * add "message_generation" and every package in MSG_DEP_SET to
+##     find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS ...)
+##   * add "message_runtime" and every package in MSG_DEP_SET to
+##     catkin_package(CATKIN_DEPENDS ...)
+##   * uncomment the add_*_files sections below as needed
+##     and list every .msg/.srv/.action file to be processed
+##   * uncomment the generate_messages entry below
+##   * add every package in MSG_DEP_SET to generate_messages(DEPENDENCIES ...)
+
+## Generate messages in the 'msg' folder
+# add_message_files(
+#   FILES
+#   Message1.msg
+#   Message2.msg
+# )
+
+## Generate services in the 'srv' folder
+# add_service_files(
+#   FILES
+#   Service1.srv
+#   Service2.srv
+# )
+
+## Generate actions in the 'action' folder
+# add_action_files(
+#   FILES
+#   Action1.action
+#   Action2.action
+# )
+
+## Generate added messages and services with any dependencies listed here
+# generate_messages(
+#   DEPENDENCIES
+#   std_msgs  # Or other packages containing msgs
+# )

+################################################
+## Declare ROS dynamic reconfigure parameters ##
+################################################
+
+## To declare and build dynamic reconfigure parameters within this
+## package, follow these steps:
+## * In the file package.xml:
+##   * add a build_depend and a exec_depend tag for "dynamic_reconfigure"
+## * In this file (CMakeLists.txt):
+##   * add "dynamic_reconfigure" to
+##     find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS ...)
+##   * uncomment the "generate_dynamic_reconfigure_options" section below
+##     and list every .cfg file to be processed
+
+## Generate dynamic reconfigure parameters in the 'cfg' folder
+# generate_dynamic_reconfigure_options(
+#   cfg/DynReconf1.cfg
+#   cfg/DynReconf2.cfg

+## catkin specific configuration ##
+###################################
+## The catkin_package macro generates cmake config files for your package
+## Declare things to be passed to dependent projects
+## INCLUDE_DIRS: uncomment this if your package contains header files
+## LIBRARIES: libraries you create in this project that dependent projects also need
+## CATKIN_DEPENDS: catkin_packages dependent projects also need
+## DEPENDS: system dependencies of this project that dependent projects also need
+catkin_package(
+ #INCLUDE_DIRS include
+ #LIBRARIES robot_models
+ #CATKIN_DEPENDS gazebo_ros
+# DEPENDS system_lib
+)

+## Build ##
+###########
+
+## Specify additional locations of header files
+## Your package locations should be listed before other locations
+include_directories(
+# include
+  ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS}
+)
+
+## Declare a C++ library
+#add_library(${robot_models}
+ # src/${robot_models}/robot_models.cpp
+#)
+
+## Add cmake target dependencies of the library
+## as an example, code may need to be generated before libraries
+## either from message generation or dynamic reconfigure
+#add_dependencies(${robot_models} ${${robot_models}_EXPORTED_TARGETS} ${catkin_EXPORTED_TARGETS})
+
+## Declare a C++ executable
+## With catkin_make all packages are built within a single CMake context
+## The recommended prefix ensures that target names across packages don't collide
+ add_executable(robot_models_node src/robot_models_node.cpp)
+
+## Rename C++ executable without prefix
+## The above recommended prefix causes long target names, the following renames the
+## target back to the shorter version for ease of user use
+## e.g. "rosrun someones_pkg node" instead of "rosrun someones_pkg someones_pkg_node"
+ #set_target_properties(robot_models_node PROPERTIES OUTPUT_NAME node PREFIX "")
+
+## Add cmake target dependencies of the executable
+## same as for the library above
+
+
+## Specify libraries to link a library or executable target against
+target_link_libraries(robot_models_node ${catkin_LIBRARIES} )
+#add_dependencies(robot_models_node ${catkin_LIBRARIES})
