Description
## Desired behavior
**Current Situation:**
Gazebo official tutorials cover IMU and LiDAR usage, but lack documentation for other sensors like cameras and FT sensors.
https://gazebosim.org/docs/harmonic/sensors

**Proposal:**
Please expand the official tutorials to include guides on integrating various sensors (e.g., cameras, FT sensors). Include details on plugin usage and parameter configurations for each sensor type.
## Alternatives considered
If documentation for all sensors' plugins and parameters exists, please add links to this information in the official tutorials.
## Implementation suggestion
Table of contents:
- Ignition launch
- Video walk-through
- **Other sensors**
- **RGB Camera**
- **Depth Camera**
- **Force Torque Sensor**
- **Air Pressure Sensor**
Force Torque Sensor page:
world file:
```xml
```
model file (URDF):
```xml
100.0
1
joint1/force_torque
false
link1
child
child_to_parent
```

Research direction
Start with the linked Gazebo sensors tutorial and the proposed table of contents, then review the Force Torque Sensor world and URDF examples in the issue. Expand the official tutorials for RGB, depth, force-torque, and air-pressure sensors, covering plugin usage and parameter configuration or linking to existing references; done when these sensor guides are published and linked from the tutorials.
