I would suggest u go through this link textfor more info , after understanding the basics of it, try the below python script
#!/usr/bin/env python
import math
from math import sin, cos, pi
import rospy
import tf
from nav_msgs.msg import Odometry
from geometry_msgs.msg import Point, Pose, Quaternion, Twist, Vector3
rospy.init_node('odometry_publisher')
odom_pub = rospy.Publisher("odom", Odometry, queue_size=50)
odom_broadcaster = tf.TransformBroadcaster()
x = 0.0
y = 0.0
th = 0.0
vx = 0.1
vy = -0.1
vth = 0.1
current_time = rospy.Time.now()
last_time = rospy.Time.now()
r = rospy.Rate(1.0)
while not rospy.is_shutdown():
current_time = rospy.Time.now()
# compute odometry in a typical way given the velocities of the robot
dt = (current_time - last_time).to_sec()
delta_x = (vx * cos(th) - vy * sin(th)) * dt
delta_y = (vx * sin(th) + vy * cos(th)) * dt
delta_th = vth * dt
x += delta_x
y += delta_y
th += delta_th
# since all odometry is 6DOF we'll need a quaternion created from yaw
odom_quat = tf.transformations.quaternion_from_euler(0, 0, th)
# first, we'll publish the transform over tf
odom_broadcaster.sendTransform(
(x, y, 0.),
odom_quat,
current_time,
"base_link",
"odom"
)
# next, we'll publish the odometry message over ROS
odom = Odometry()
odom.header.stamp = current_time
odom.header.frame_id = "odom"
# set the position
odom.pose.pose = Pose(Point(x, y, 0.), Quaternion(*odom_quat))
# set the velocity
odom.child_frame_id = "base_link"
odom.twist.twist = Twist(Vector3(vx, vy, 0), Vector3(0, 0, vth))
# publish the message
odom_pub.publish(odom)
last_time = current_time
r.sleep()
Sorry, I'm confused. Do you want to know what it is necessary to build an odometry message, or you already have it and now you want to plot it in RVIZ?
