Baxter simulation with controllers doesn't work

edit

Hello there,

I haven't been able to run the Baxter simulation with controllers by following the instructions in Baxter simulation installation page (here). The only point at which I deviate from the instructions is that I did the installation from the kinetic-devel branch instead of the master branch to support ROS Kinetic as per the suggestions in here. I use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with ROS Kinetic. After I was done with the installation and the configuration of the Baxter.sh to include my baxter hostname and my ip, I run the following command:

./baxter.sh sim

followed by the following command to run the simulator with controllers:

roslaunch baxter_gazebo baxter_world.launch

Then I Get a long output trace, the notable of which are the following segments:
