When I try to set an initial pose for 2d navigation RVIZ crashes on me. When I check the tf tree, I see that odom is off to the side and not even connected. /map connects straight to /base_link. What am I doing wrong?

What type of robot are you using, and what packages are involved? It would sound as if your base controller/driver is publishing directly base_link to map rather than putting out an odometry.

irobotcreate with a hokuyolaser.I amfollowing this tutorial http://www.princeton.edu/~ctralie/Projects/DukeDusty2/Tutorial/#navigation.I did view_frames again before I set initial pose and it seems like /odom is branching off /map now, but /base_link is branching off /map with the broadcaster /temp.

The first "temp" publisher is wrong. It says the robot does never move in the map. Remove it totally.

The corresponding tf chain from map->odom->base_link should be produced by odometry and SLAM/localization, not a static_transform_publisher.

That worked! Thanks a lot man!

hey Matthew, can you post the result of "rosrun tf view_frames" please? I'd like to see your tf tree.

raphael favier ( 2011-06-01 12:30:33 -0600 )edit

and it might also come from the configuration files of navigation. can you post them and check the values of the parameter "global_frame" for the global and local costmaps.

raphael favier ( 2011-06-01 12:33:28 -0600 )edit

what is the ground_static_tf_publisher node you have? If it outputs tf frames with odom or map, it might interfere with navigation

raphael favier ( 2011-06-01 12:36:08 -0600 )edit

global_costmap: global_frame: /map robot_base_frame: base_link update_frequency: 5.0 static_map: true

i have my pdf of the view_frames saved, but how do i post it here?

a11irap ( 2011-06-01 12:38:29 -0600 )edit

i'm not too sure about what the ground_static_tf_publisher is.. i took everything from http://www.princeton.edu/~ctralie/Projects/DukeDusty2/Tutorial/ but i am not using RFID

following this tuto, try changing the local costmap's global_frame to odom

also, check what the ground_static_tf_publisher node outputs as frames. Check its interaction with map and odom. It sounds suspicious... :)

hey raph. i followed the tutorial and made the changes to the local costmap.. this produced the same results. odom is branching off of map with amcl.and base_link is branching off of map with base_link(it was /temp) before.. I am still not sure what you are talking about 'ground_static_tf_publisher

here are the transforms in the launch file that i got from the dukedusty2 tutorial

there seems to be no link between map and odometry and odometry and base_link

<node pkg="tf" type="static_transform_publisher" name="temp" args="0 0 0 0 0 0 1 map base_link 50"/>

<!--Base platform is 13cm off of ground!-->
<node pkg="tf" type="static_transform_publisher" name="ground_static_tf_publisher" args="0 0 0.13 0 0 0 1 base_link base_platform 50"/>

<node pkg="tf" type="static_transform_publisher" name="hokuyo_static_tf_publisher"
    args="0.14 0 0.06 0 0 0 1 base_platform base_scan 50"/>
