I'm following this tutorial:

answers.ros.org/question/41433/multiple-robots-simulation-and-navigation/

I want to simulate 2 turtlebot together. The simulation is ok, but I have a problem with navigation. When I run my launch file I see this:

[ WARN] [1386932948.877571799, 677.970000000]: Waiting on transform from base_footprint to map to become available before running costmap, tf error:

I've read other questions but I can not solve the problem.

This is my multiple_navigation.launch

<launch>
<param name="/use_sim_time" value="true"/>

<!-- Run the map server -->
<node name="map_server" pkg="map_server" type="map_server" args="$(find tesi_gazebo)/maps/playground.yaml" >
<param name="frame_id" value="/map" />
</node>

<group ns="robot1">
<param name="tf_prefix" value="robot1_tf" />
<param name="amcl/initial_pose_x" value="1" />
<param name="amcl/initial_pose_y" value="1" />
<include file="$(find tesi_gazebo)/launch/move_base.launch" />
</group>

<group ns="robot2">
<param name="tf_prefix" value="robot2_tf" />
<param name="amcl/initial_pose_x" value="-1" />
<param name="amcl/initial_pose_y" value="1" />
<include file="$(find tesi_gazebo)/launch/move_base.launch" />
</group>

</launch>

and this is move.base.launch

<launch>    
<!--- Run AMCL -->
<include file="$(find turtlebot_navigation)/launch/includes/amcl.launch.xml" />

<!-- Define your move_base node -->
<node pkg="move_base" type="move_base" respawn="false" name="move_base" output="screen">
<rosparam file="$(find tesi_gazebo)/param/costmap_common_params.yaml" command="load" ns="global_costmap"/>

<rosparam file="$(find tesi_gazebo)/param/local_costmap_params.yaml"  command="load" />
<rosparam file="$(find tesi_gazebo)/param/global_costmap_params.yaml" command="load" />
<rosparam file="$(find tesi_gazebo)/param/base_local_planner_params.yaml" command="load" />

<remap from="map" to="/map" />
</node>
</launch>

can you please post the information about your tf tree you get via tf view_frames ?

I see this graph: https://db.tt/TX6LT4ad There isn't a /map node, but I don't know why!

Since AMCL should publish the TF transformation between Map and odom, i am pretty sure that the error is somewhere in your amcl configuration. Have you checked that you use the right frame names in amcl ? You simulate two robots, but in the graph i just see the tree from one robot ?

Yes, in the graph I see only one robot. This is another problem! I follow this tutorial (answers.ros.org/question/41433/multiple-robots-simulation-and-navigation/), but I never noticed the problem.

Ok, where do you spawn the robots ? I do not see the "spawn_model" form gazebo. And please poste the file where you launch gazebo

You can see my launch file for the simulation here (http://answers.ros.org/question/111256/problem-with-multiple-turtlebot-simulation/). Yesterday I posted another question for the problem of tf tree.
