Description
Describe the bug
I followed the README to download RAI and the README to use the robotic arm demo (https://github.com/RobotecAI/rai/blob/main/docs/demos/manipulation.md).
When I run the command to launch it "ros2 launch examples/manipulation-demo.launch.py game_launcher:=path/to/RAIManipulationDemo.GameLauncher" I get some errors. I extracted the project into: /home/rai/src/examples/rai-manipulation-demo/ros2_ws/src.
To Reproduce
Follow the step at https://github.com/RobotecAI/rai/blob/main/docs/demos/manipulation.md
Expected behavior
Being able to perform simple tasks like moving the cubes.
Screenshots
Platform
- OS: Ubuntu 24.04
- ROS 2 Version Jazzy
Version
Main tag 1.1.0
Additional context
In /home//rai/src/examples/rai-manipulation-demo/ros2_ws/src/RAIManipulationDemoGamePackage/ i don't have Assets/Engine/exclude.filetag, I don't understand how to create it. Also, inside RAI there is a .urdf.txt file but it is empty

Research direction
Start with docs/demos/manipulation.md and reproduce the documented ros2 launch command using the reported extraction path. Inspect the RAIManipulationDemoGamePackage directory, including the missing Assets/Engine/exclude.filetag and empty .urdf.txt mentioned in the report, then compare the observed errors with the screenshots. Done means the demo launches successfully and supports moving the cubes.
