Example for spawning multiple robots in Gazebo.
 
This is an example on how to create a launch file for spawning multiple robots into Gazebo
and launch multiple instances of the navigation stack, each controlling one robot.
The robots co-exist on a shared environment and are controlled by independent nav stacks.
