[ WARN] [1377366818.732511716]: Converting unknown joint type of joint 'odom-joint' into a fixed joint


I thought floating joints where allowed?

     <joint name="odom_joint" type="floating">
        <parent link="odom" />
        <child link="base_link" />
      </joint>

Answer 1

I miss understood that apparently floating and planar joints are no long used. At least that what I get from scanning blogs. Documentation seems to be lagging.

In the case of odom to base link you must publish odometry and tf.

Or you can use MoveIt You can define virtual joints: floating and planar
