Hi,

I am using rtabmap_ros on a Turtlebot in Gazebo. I have successfully created the map with rtabmap_ros for stereo images by using of this launch file link text . Now, I would like to do the navigation with a known map. for this purpose my launch file is this:

<launch>

<!--For turtlebot in simulation (Gazebo):

i am new in ros and rtabmap and i don't know my launch file is ok or not. please help me for write correct launch file.

Please format your code/terminal output. Once you post your code/terminal output, highlight it then click the preformatted text (101010) button or press Ctrl-k. It's much easier to read with the text formatted.

I don't understand why you are publishing images from a directory while turtlebot is in a simulation environment. Can you add a stereo camera in Gazebo and subscribe to it instead? You may want to test this tutorial before integrating a stereo camera.

hi. i have stereo images that these save in directory. my purpose is path planning by using this stereo images. i am new in ros and rtabmap and I do not know how to do this. i studied rtabmap tutorials and by using this create map

but i don't know how i can create path planning. please help me matlabbe!

I suggest to familiarize with the RTAB-Map/Navigation with Turtlebot tutorial I provided, follow step 6 to bring up the simulation with rtabmap and navigation ready, then step 3 for path planning.

i studied RTAB-Map/Navigation with Turtlebot tutorial and according to this tutorial, i write launch file above. is my launch file ok for my purpose?
