libhector_gazebo_ros_imu doesn't like namespaces
Hi, I am trying to run a multi-robot simulation, I've got everything working right so far except for the imu which I am using from libhectorgazeboros_imu.so
My Macro is like this:
<xacro:macro name="imu_gazebo" params="link imu_topic update_rate">
<link name="${link}" />
<gazebo>
<plugin name="imu_plugin" filename="libhector_gazebo_ros_imu.so">
<updateRate>${update_rate}</updateRate>
<bodyName>${link}</bodyName>
<frameId>${link}</frameId>
<topicName>${imu_topic}</topicName>
<accelDrift>0.0 0.0 0.0</accelDrift>
<accelGaussianNoise>${sqrt(5e-05)} ${sqrt(0.0001)} ${sqrt(0.00013)}</accelGaussianNoise>
<rateDrift>0.0 0.0 0.0</rateDrift>
<rateGaussianNoise>${sqrt(8e-06)} ${sqrt(8e-06)} ${sqrt(3e-07)}</rateGaussianNoise>
<yawDrift>0.0</yawDrift>
<yawGaussianNoise>${sqrt(0.1)}</yawGaussianNoise>
</plugin>
</gazebo>
The topics are published with respect to their namespaces like: /robot1/imudata and /robot2/imudata but the frameid is the same for both: just imuframe. How can I add the robot namespace to the frame_id of the topic knowing that I am using the same URDF for all the robots.
I am including the macro like this:
<xacro:imu_gazebo link="imu_link" imu_topic="imu_data" update_rate="50.0"/>
Info: my laser scans are configured the same and they work perfectly having unique topics and unique frame names.

The libhector_gazebo_ros_imu.so seems to have no frameId
parameter, according to http://wiki.ros.org/hector_gazebo_plugins#XML_Parameters try setting robotNamespace
instead.

If I don't give a frameID it defaults to base_footprint, I can't change it any other way.

What happens if you set robotNamespace
, thought?
Asked by ct2034 on 2022-11-24 09:55:47 UTC
all the topics and services get the robotNamespace prefix for all robot (still because I am using the same URDF for all robots) but the frame_id in the topic is still just imu_link, no prefix no nothing

How do you include the macro? Can you show the xacro where it is used?
