Factory
[Models]

The Factory model maintains no physical characteristics, but instead allows the user to dynamically create models at runtime. A model is instantiated by passing an XML character string to a Factory model. The character string uses the same model format as the .world files. Note that the string should only contain the model description, and no other tags. The XML string is passed into Gazebo through the gz_factory interface which has the same interface as the Player speech device.
