Following my last question, No laser scan recieved still nothing is published by /amcl_pose and roswtf out is:

WARNING The following node subscriptions are unconnected:
 * /amcl:
   * /initialpose


Found 5 error(s).

ERROR Communication with [/amcl] raised an error:

AMCL is probably waiting for an initial pose. There are two ways to do this: using RVIZ, or using the parameter server:

  • This tutorial shows how to send an initial pose using RVIZ
  • you can set the pose via parameters using the amcl parameters initial_pose_x, initial_pose_y, initial_pose_a (see http://wiki.ros.org/amcl for a description of the parameters)

@fergs, I have the same problem, when I do "rostopic echo /amcl_pose", there is no messages!!!! I try rviz to set the initial pose, then we get the co-ordinate from rxconsole output..Is there any way to calculate robot position by listening to some topic?

hi,i have the same problem,when i use rostopic echo /amcl_pose give me these warning: WARNING: no messages received and simulated time is active. Is /clock being published? do you solve your problem?
