Hi,

I'm using the navigation stack and the Corobot. If I run the corobot with a velocity of 0.2 m/s everything works fine, but if I change my velocity to 0,4 m/s after some time the robot can't localize itself in the given map.
I think it should be a problem of the amcl node.
I'm using an IMU and a laser.

Here is my amcl.launch file

Any help?
Thank you in advance

EDIT:

I added a bag file with /scan /tf /map and /odom. In the bag files is recorded an initial localization phase, 2/3 path planning that succeded in reaching the goal a path planning in wich the robot get lost. https://www.dropbox.com/s/n0ldecwckxms0wy/2013-04-29-12-15-11.bag.gz

Have you tried visualizing the particle cloud in rviz? What happens if amcl loses track of the current location? Why did you change some of the default parameters? Maybe you can record and post a bag file from when the problem is happening.

I changed the alpha parameter when I added the Imu

Maybe i'm blind, but i cant find the link to your bag file. :)

Oh! you are right...I tried again but it load the file then it didn't show it, I don't know how to add it
