Three new packages for simulating Darwin have been released. The following is a post to ros-users from Philippe Capdepuy.
We just published 3 packages for simulating the Darwin OP robot on Gazebo (or to use with the real robot but with some extra work):
They have been tested on both Hydro and Indigo, but they probably work for other distributions.
We also provide a user-friendly Python API with walking capabilities.
A quick tutorial and demo can be found here:

Credits also go to Taegoo Kim and Bharadwaj Ramesh for the meshes and original URDF on which this work was based.
Enjoy!
