unable to find goal using ros-navigation

asked 2014-10-23 07:13:05 -0500

hi, i want to navigate P3AT (in USARSim @windows PC1) from ROS (Fuerte @UBUNTU PC2). i am using ros navigation stack for auto navigation.

but after setting goal in rviz, robot just roam around left - right and start moving to random location.

here are the files you may want to look,

Hi Sumant, you are not supposed to launch your SLAM algorithm (gmapping) simultaneously with your localization algorithm (AMCL). If you already have the map, comment out your gmapping node in the launch file.

thanks @al-dev for reply. when i comment out the portion you have suggested it gives an warning,

**"waiting on transform from /base_link to /map to become available before running costmap, tf error"**

I suspect you don't have any source of odometry measurements. What does your transform tree look like when you do rosrun tf view_frames ? AMCL requires that someone publishes a transform from the /odom frame to the /base_link frame of your robot. See the wiki : http://wiki.ros.org/amcl

hello @al-dev , thank you for looking into it, here is the transform tree, after i removed the SLAM click to view

Thank you

  1. use gmapping to localize your robot in the map (use 2d pose estimate in rviz and drive around manually)
  2. if the position is accurate (you see the estimate position in rviz visualizing tf) start your move_base launchfile
  3. let us know your results :)

Thank you @lebowski , Result is still same, robot is roaming aroud!!, i m just wondering why it is happening.. Thanks
