move_base in Hydro
I'm trying to use the navigation stack with my Robot simulated on Rviz with the arbotix simulator.
I had configuration files that were working perfectly fine in Groovy but I'm trying to switch on Hydro because I want to use my android to control the robot. Thus I tried to use my simulation files from Groovy in Hydro and without a lot of surprise, i'm running into some problems.
So here is my launcher for the map simulation and the move_base node :
<launch>
<!-- Run the map server with a blank map -->
<node name="map_server" pkg="map_server" type="map_server" args="$(find simulation_tobot)/maps/blank_map.yaml"/>
<include file="$(find simulation_tobot)/launch/nav/fake_move_base.launch" />
<!-- Run a static transform between /odom and /map -->
<node pkg="tf" type="static_transform_publisher" name="odom_map_broadcaster" args="0 0 0 0 0 0 /map /odom 100" />
</launch>
And the launch file for the move base :
<launch>
<node pkg="move_base" type="move_base" respawn="false" name="move_base" output="screen">
<rosparam file="$(find simulation_tobot)/config/nav/costmap_common_params.yaml" command="load" ns="global_costmap" />
<rosparam file="$(find simulation_tobot)/config/nav/costmap_common_params.yaml" command="load" ns="local_costmap" />
<rosparam file="$(find simulation_tobot)/config/nav/local_costmap_params.yaml" command="load" />
<rosparam file="$(find simulation_tobot)/config/nav/global_costmap_params.yaml" command="load" />
<rosparam file="$(find simulation_tobot)/config/nav/base_local_planner_params.yaml" command="load" />
</node>
</launch>
But when I launch this I have the following problem which I didn't had in Groovy :
process[map_server-1]: started with pid [16785]
process[move_base-2]: started with pid [16800]
process[odom_map_broadcaster-3]: started with pid [16815]

After playing around with it for a little while I guess it's because of the way I create a static transform between /map and /odom but I have no idea what is "specifying at least three points for the robot footprint".
The result is that when I'm simulating in Rviz, the good path is found by move_base but the robot is totally unable to get to the specify point as ...
