I have a map of the area, in which I want my differential drive mobile robot to move around to the goals given, for this I already mapped the area with kinect using the gmapping, now I want to use the navigation stack.

I have followed the setup as mentioned in the navigation_stack page http://wiki.ros.org/navigation/Tutori...

But after running the move_base.launch file I get the following errors.

[ WARN] [1408947873.713176792]: Request for map failed; trying again...

Here is my graph attached: image description

So What I am missing here, which is stopping the navigation stack to run.

many thanks in advance.

You have two errors. I'll explain each:

[ WARN] [1408947881.971717380]: Waiting on transform from base_link to map to become available before running costmap, tf error:

(1) move_base is waiting for the transform from base_link to map to become available. This is how it knows where the robot is, and it can't start without that.

 [ WARN] [1408947873.713176792]: Request for map failed; trying again...

(2) AMCL is waiting for the map. Without that map, it can't determine the location of the robot. This is causing (1) above.

From looking at your node graph, you aren't running a map_server. You should probably run the map_server node as described on the map_server wiki page

How can I give this tf, ie. tf between move_base and base_link
when I saved the map after gmapping using "rosrun map_server map_saver" it saved map as map.pgm, but the map_server is expecting a .yaml format, how can I now convert from .pgm to .yaml

Read my answer again. You will solve 1 by solving 2
The map_saver should create both a map.pgm and a map.yaml.

Great thanks ahendrix, I am able to run the map_server with map.yaml, which inturn solved the 1st problem.

ahendrix, But sometimes I get a warning saying

Map update loop missed its desired rate of 5.0000Hz... the loop actually took 0.2281 seconds

May I know the reason.

does navigation stack provides avoidance of dynamic obstacles coming in the map..?

It sounds like your original question is solved; please mark this as solved and ask a new question or two.
