+**Demo:** Show the Edy model in Rviz as the manipulator is adjusted. Hold the robot arm and play with it. The model in Rviz should move exactly how real model moves.
+===== Notes from Ruinian's e-mail =====
+The computer to the left of Edy as you are facing Edy is the one to use.
+There is a Github repository for Edy that [[https://github.com/ivaROS/ivaEdy/blob/master/README.md
+ | documents how to run it with ROS]]. Follow the README with the of viewing the virtual model of Edy in  Rviz.
+Of note, when facing to the wall, only the right arm works.  For the project, only one arm is needed to be operational.  But please make sure all cables are connected for the left arm otherwise you won't be able to successfully run the tutorials provided (since they may assume both arms are connected).
+//Supplemental Material:// In case you want to learn more about ROS and MoveIt!, there are official tutorials provided by [[http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials|ROS]] and [[https://ros-planning.github.io/moveit_tutorials/|MoveIt!]], which provide understanding on how they both work.
+===== Issues and Debugging ======
+> Joint state with name: "" was received by not found in URDF
+> Initialization failed. Unable to start controller edy position controller r_2.
+First check if every motor is powered. Check if the light of each motor flashes once after being powered on. The position of LED light is different for different types of motors. Secondly, after launching controller manager, check that all 16 motors are found. Lastly, make sure there are no error messages  after launching the position controller for each motor.
