Revision history [back]

Hi, It is possible to get the simulated kinect data for the turtlebot. I have used the kinect simulation in gazebo and was able to view the kinect pointclouds in rviz. I request you to run the below

roslaunch turtlebot_gazebo turtlebot_empty_world.launch

In turtlebot_gazebo, the kinect is launched automatically with the robot.launch which is launched inside the above launch file.

Once this is up, you can see the cloud in the rviz when you subscribe to the right topic.

Hope this helps!!!

Thanks, Karthik
