Revision history [back]

The first thing that I would do is verify that accumulating laser data in the odometric frame produces a sensible result. See this question for a simple technique using rviz.

If you can't build at least a crude "map" by just accumulating scans based on odometry over short distances, then something is wrong with your laser, or odometry, or both, and gmapping won't be able to help you.
