[ 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>

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.

Hi - what's the workaround? Or do we just ignore the warning? Thanks :).

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
