Revision history [back]

As suggested by @miura, the turtlebot3_world.launch file inside the turtlebot3_gazebo package does not publish the requisite transforms required by Rviz to dispay the RobotModel.

If you want to add the RobotModel plugin to Rviz, you need to use a launch file that publishes the requisite transforms on the tf tree or you need to manually publish those transforms. @miura above is taking the latter approach by publishing the (dummy) transforms manually.

So, for example, you can try roslaunch turtlebot3_bringup turtlebot3_model.launch. To use this, you would need to download and build the turtlebot3 package from source corresponding to your ROS distribution.

I hope that makes sense.

As suggested by @miura, the turtlebot3_world.launch file inside the turtlebot3_gazebo package does not publish the requisite transforms required by Rviz to dispay the RobotModel. It only publishes the /odom -> /base_link transform.
