Revision history [back]

You might even decrease the maxUrange -- I think it is something like 3.0 on the turtlebot as readings have higher error at longer range (something that gmapping really doesn't take into account, as it assumes an error model more like a laser scanner). In general, I suggest that people look at turtlebot_navigation as a good starting point for parameters to use on a base with only a kinect, and limited odometry.
