Hi all, I am study using Slam_gmapping. I ran roscore, stage_ros first. These are the list of topic:

ubuntu@tegra-ubuntu:~$ rostopic list
/base_pose_ground_truth
/base_scan
/clock
/cmd_vel
/odom
/rosout
/rosout_agg
/tf

Then I run gmapping and it stop at Registering First Scan

ubuntu@tegra-ubuntu:~$ rosrun gmapping slam_gmapping scan:=base_scan
[ INFO] [1459395266.430914447, 120.700000000]: Laser is mounted upwards.

Registering First Scan

I also tried with tutorial in this link but I still have same problem http://wiki.ros.org/slam_gmapping/Tutorials/MappingFromLoggedData#record

Please let me know if I missed anything? Or any suggestion the method to track the problem are welcome. I run ROS on Jetson TX1

I have just attached the tf tree and below is some info from base-scan image description

If you run rostopic echo /base_scan do you get any output?

Also what does your TF tree look like?

Mark, Thanks for your help. I have just edited my question to included header of /base-scan and tf tree screen shot.

Can you post the rqtgraph result? Just to understand if every msg is connected in the right way

Walter, I added the rqt_graph pics. Thank you.

Is the robot moving? slam_gmapping has two parameters (linearUpdate, angularUpdate) that determine how much the robot has to translate or rotate before the algorithm executes another iteration.

spmaniato: You answered my question. When I saw it hang at Registering First Scan, I didn't try to continue moving the robot by keyboard. But when I try it, after a delay, the gmapping start process with status update. Could you please changed this to answer so I can accept. Thank you very much.

Is the robot moving in Stage? slam_gmapping has two parameters (linearUpdate, angularUpdate ) that determine how much the robot has to translate or rotate before the algorithm executes another iteration (see http://wiki.ros.org/gmapping )

So you can drive the robot around and/or set those parameters to 0.0 in order to trigger the SLAM process.

rosrun gmapping slam_gmapping scan:=base_scan _linearUpdate:=0.0 _angularUpdate:=0.0
