See the code conversion here: ros/urdf_sim_tutorial#13

Currently in the process of getting the packages on the buildfarm: ros/rosdistro#38713

This PR is for Humble, because I don't believe its compatible with Gazebo New Coke.

There is a specific place for related simulation tutorials https://github.com/ros2/ros2_documentation/tree/rolling/source/Tutorials/Advanced/Simulators should we move this there?

So this falls in the overlap of URDF and Simulation. Is there a good way to cross-post?

No, not really.

My reading of the content below suggests it is to teach Gazebo concepts, specifically how to load a URDF into Gazebo.

But I might be wrong about that. So I pose the question: what is the main purpose of this tutorial? Is it to teach URDF concepts? Or to teach Gazebo concepts?

I have added this to the table of contents for the Simulators/Gazebo tutorials. Since it is primarily aimed at updating the URDF for simulation, I think it should stay in Gazebo. Additional redirect-from directives could be used to clear up the table of contents if desired.

As of right now, I don't believe there is a difference between Rolling and Humble in this regards. That is, they share the same underlying Ubuntu 22.04, so the same Gazebo stuff should work on both (this also goes for Iron). But I could be wrong, maybe @ahcorde can comment more on this.
