Hi, nate, thanks. I add the tag <alwaysActive> into the sicklms200.model like
below, but seems not work. The laser beams still look passing through the
objects in gazebo gui. Does that mean i have to write a controller to
request the data in such a way that the laser beams would display correct?
<sensor:ray name="laser_1">
<rayCount>180</rayCount>
<rangeCount>361</rangeCount>
<origin>0.05 0.0 0</origin>
<minAngle>-90</minAngle>
<maxAngle>90</maxAngle>
<minRange>0.1</minRange>
<maxRange>8</maxRange>
<displayRays>fan</displayRays>
<resRange>1</resRange>
<alwaysActive>true</alwaysActive>
<controller:sicklms200_laser name="laser_controller_1">
<interface:laser name="laser_iface_0"/>
<interface:fiducial name="fiducial_iface_0"/>
</controller:sicklms200_laser>
</sensor:ray>

The problem may also be related to a "feature" that has been added to
gazebo.
Sensors will not generate data unless an external program requests
data. So, if you run gazebo without connecting to the laser via shared
memory, Player, or through ROS then the laser will not generate data
and it will seem to pass through objects.
You can also add the <alwaysActive> tag to a sensor:
<sensor:ray>
<alwaysActive>true</alwaysActive>
</sensor:ray>
Which will force the sensor on.
