Revision history [back]

If you want to navigate without localisation, then disable your localisation node and publish a static transform between your /map and /odom frame. Amcl or some other localisation will usually provide this transform. This means that your robot will now only be as accurate as its odometry.

The global planner and local planner should still work in move base in the default costmap frame_id of /map.

You could alternatively try changing the costmap frame id to /odom which may achieve the same thing but I haven't tried this myself.
