Hi Everyone, I am running two turtlebots (kobuki) with gazebo1.9 and I provided command velocities to each turtlebot using “rostopic pub” command. I noticed that turtlebot keep moving after I killed the command velocity using “Control tab +c”. I am wondering if this anomaly is due to the inertia values for my wheels or something else Thanks for any help with this issue
I believe that unless a value of zero gets published, then the last value is what is used by the bot. Killing the publication command doesn't force a value of zero to be published, so the bot continues with the last speed it received.
The gazebo plugin might not have a timeout on incoming commands when they stop being published it may continue to execute the last received command.
Hi Tfoote, In order to add a timeout on the incoming commands, Do i need to change the source code of the pluging? or is there another way to add a timeout? I installed Gazebo$gazebo-ros-pack from binaries and the turtlebot from source. For now, I send a 0 command velocity to stop the turtlebot. Thanks a lot for your help

Have faced similar problems with Roomba
Somebody gave a tip to sent 0 command velocity. rostopic pub /cmd_vel geometry_msgs/Twist '[0.0, 0.0, 0.0]' '[0.0, 0.0, 0.0]' That command stopped the turtlebot.
