Trouble getting my robot to move in rviz
Hi I am new to ROS. I am having issues getting my robot to move in rviz. When I use the 2d Nav goal, i see that the tf for my front wheels rotate but my robot doesn't move in rviz. My robot however rotates in gazebo. A bit about my setup.
- I am using the differentialdrivecontroller gazebo plugin
- i use the hectormapping node to publish my odom topic (scanmatchodom)
- scanmatch_odom is used in my amcl launch file
Here are some of my launch files:
Hector mapping file

I would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks

The hector_mapping node needs subscribe your odom topic rather than "publish".
