Hello, I'm currently doing the tutorial teb_local_planner and now I'm trying to build a map with this tutorial. I execute all commands and at the end of this, I have problem with this command :

~/Documents/pts-info2-master/mybot_ws-base_sensors/src$ rosrun map_server map_saver -f my_map
[ INFO] [1553269724.865617557]: Waiting for the map

I never get the map and I must kill the process.

I use Velodyne, Ubuntu 16.04 with ROS Kinetic distribution. Thanks.

I run Gazebo with the robot.

To launch node for odometry roslaunch odometry_pkg start_odom.launch

then :

To launch node for laser_scan

roslaunch sensor_pkg laser_scan.launch

To launch node for point cloud roslaunch sensor_pkg point_cloud.launch

This is my rostopic list :

/velodyne_points

I tried these commands :

rosbag record -O mylaserdata /base_scan /tf

rosbag record -O mylaserdata /scan /odom /velodyne_points /tf

I kill the process.

rosparam set use_sim_time true

rosrun gmapping slam_gmapping scan:=base_scan _odom_frame:=odom_combined

rosbag play --clock mylaserdata

It seems like gmapping is not making a map. I would check to see if it is printing any messages, and that the inputs for it are correct. If you are using a velodyne, you will need to convert the pointcloud to a laserscan so that gmapping can understand it.

Update

It seems like you have a few problems:

You're telling gmapping to use the /base_scan topic, but it doesn't exist. You should probably tell it to use the /scan topic instead. (although I still can't tell that the topic types match. You have custom packages, so you should check that they're publishing sensor_msgs/LaserScan )
Gmapping is showing a lot of TF errors; this usually indicates some problem with your setup, and can result in a bad map. I suspect you left gazebo running while you were trying to run gmapping, and the two sources of similar TF data are confusing it. When you run gmapping to build the map, you should make sure that there are no other nodes running.
You should check that the TF frame used by gmapping is published by your robot. The tutorial indicates that the odom_combined frame isn't used by most robots.

You also listed two rosbag record commands, but didn't say which bag file you were playing back. I assume you get the same results from both?

Excuse me for the late, can you explain me how to check if it is correct ? Do you want other messages in terminal ?

If you edit your question with the list of topics in your bag file and the full commands that you're running, I can help check if they're correct. If slam_gmapping is printing error messages or not printing anything at all, that may also indicate a problem.

I have updated the question if you want, with all nodes and commands what I launch.

Tomité ( 2019-03-25 11:15:38 -0500 )edit

Okay so I must kill Gazebo when I'm playing ?

Tomité ( 2019-03-26 09:00:00 -0500 )edit

For record commands, I used these commands in different records.
