The current uuv_assistant package seems to be broken in ROS-Melodic, resulting in

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/ros/melodic/lib/uuv_assistants/create_new_robot_model", line 59, in <module>
    for d in os.listdir(template_path):
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/opt/ros/melodic/share/uuv_assistants/templates/robot_model'

To quick-fix, clone uuv-repo and copy the respective templates

git clone https://github.com/uuvsimulator/uuv_simulator.git
cd uuv_simulator/uuv_assistants
sudo cp -r ./templates/ /opt/ros/melodic/share/uuv_assistants/

Of course, it would be nicer to update the packages or work on the source from the GIT instead of messing around with the packages.
