Hello,

I have problem with simulated Kinect. Turtlebot is placed in some environment (ipa-kitchen from COB stack) and pointcloud from it looks like a plane in front of robot as you can see on screenshot:

I have posted the same question. See here.

Maybe the reason could be graphic card? I'm using Intel integrated card which is not well supported by Gazebo - so maybe this is the reason for weird data...

I cannot reproduce the error on my desktop (with nvidia card). What files did you launch? thanks.

"roslaunch cob_gazebo_worlds ipa-kitchen.launch" and "roslaunch turtlebot_gazebo robot.launch"

It was caused by integrated Intel graphic card. With NVIDIA it's ok now.

Sorry, so what was the solution ... could you expand on your answer? Did you switch from an integrated GPU (laptop/netbook?) to a desktop with a dedicated GPU?

I switched from Intel i5 integrated GPU to NVIDIA GTX 560 Ti GPU on my desktop PC. This change also resolved some problem with visualization in RVIZ so I can recommend anyone NVIDIA GPU for use with Gazebo and RVIZ.
