Revision history [back]

Problem solved. Just to let everyone know.

Firstly, there is no "bug" in the code; it is just that amcl does not publish pose unless the robot moved. Therefore, amcl_cb was never called.

I changed my code using the ros::Timer suggestion by @mig to publish tf.

It works fine at the end.
