hello,

in Using rviz with the Navigation Stack tutorial, (and also the video in it), Obstacles - Topic: local_costmap/obstacles Type: nav_msgs/GridCells...if its the case, just like the video i can select gridcell in rviz to display our obstacles.

but when i tried to run costmap_2d node or even move_base...it didnt publish that topic. my topics which related costmap are;

/costmap_node/costmap/costmap

/costmap_node/costmap/costmap_updates

/costmap_node/costmap/obstacles/parameter_descriptions etc.

so in rviz i cant choose gridcell display (just like the tutorial video) to show obstacles

how can i publish that topic? i just want to see obstacles just like the tutorial..

above is not the real costmap topic you want. if you want to show in rviz, you must launch the related costmap_layers plugins in costmap to show it.

i had tried to do that (plugins: obstacle layes etc) but again there wasnt any topic published like just /obstacles (nav_msgs/GridCells)

The GridCells were replaced with the costmap/costmap_updates topics in a previous release. That tutorial is out of date.

@David Lu, costmap/costmap_updates topic is of type map_msgs/OccupancyGridUpdate which cannot be visualized. So should /costmap/costmap be used instead.
