While visualizing my output in RVIZ, I am getting an error stating "Uninitialized quaternion, assuming identity. Is there any way to fix this warning?

Can someone please help me in identifying the issue!

The quaternion is probably [0, 0, 0, 0], which is invalid. That quaternion appears in a message, perhaps a pose message. You can use ROS CLI tools to echo the messages to confirm that they are valid or invalid, find the publisher, etc. Once you know the publisher you can track down the bug.
