This python script can be used with VRX simulator. Follow their tutoral page to install the VRX simulator environment.
After installation, add the controller.py file to ~/vrx_ws/src/vrx/vrx_gazebo/nodes.
Now, go to ~/vrx_ws/src/vrx/vrx_gazebo/CMakeLists.txt and add "nodes/controller.py" to the catkin_install_python function.

Make the python script executable:

$ chmod +x ~/vrx_ws/src/vrx/vrx_gazebo/nodes/controller.py

Use catkin_make to build:

$ cd ~/vrx_ws
$ catkin_make

$ roslaunch vrx_gazebo vrx.launch

Open a new terminal and start the python node:

$ rosrun vrx_gazebo controller.py
