I'm buiding a robot equipped with a kinect sensor that will navigate a room autonomously or based on manually entered waypoints. I'd like to use rgbdslam to map out the environment the robot is in, and since it of course also does localization, I was wondering how to extract the kinects coordinates and orientation from rgbdslam. Any help?

Have you explored the tf tree rgbdslam generates for you? It seems slam_transform is the localized position of the kinect.

The answer of redbaron is correct. In the new snapshot (see installation instructions here) there is a fixed frame (by default called "map" and positioned where the first frame is taken) and a transformation to the "openni_camera" frame is given from there.
