Sorry, I accidentally closed this when changing the branch layout of the repository. I've reopened it and updated the target base to be lunar-devel which is the new default branch. You can edit again to point at indigo-devel, which is what is used to release for ROS Indigo and Kinetic, if you like.

A suggestion: add camera_frame_id as well. Thanks.

Has this problem been fixed in ros-melodic-stage?
I am having this problem with ros melodic. The /robot_0/base_laser_link frame name must be changed to robot_0/base_laser_link frame. Otherwise a simulation with multiple robots/objects will not work.
Had to switch back to ros-kinetic.

Hi Antonio,
I don't think that the problem has been fixed, as the latest commits to this pkg are from May 2017.
However, you can use @doisyg 's version of the stage_ros pkg.
Just clone it from here and compile it in your catkin_ws. You also have an example launch file here as well.

@amattag , see my corresponding PR (would love to see it merged btw) with example launch file: #58

Thanks @doisyg for your work, it's really helpful. But, I am still having problems with an stage world with multiple robots.
For robot_0, stage names the laser frame as "/robot_0/base_laser_link". With your ros-stage PR I can rename the "base_laser_link" part of the laser frame id, but it attaches it to the "/robot_0" prefix.
I need to change the whole thing to "robot_0/base_laser_link".
Regards.
