Getting the navigation goal from RVIZ

asked 2014-11-03 11:06:03 -0500

I am able to get the initial pose of my turtlebot using :

rospy.wait_for_message('initialpose', PoseWithCovarianceStamped)

rospy.Subscriber('initialpose', PoseWithCovarianceStamped)

This allows me to get a the initial pose when a user clicks sets the 2d Pose estimate in RVIZ. My question is threefold

How do I achieve the same with the 2d Navigation Goal (getting it fom RVIZ)?
What message should I wait for and subscribe to?
What TYPE of message am I looking for? For example with initialpose I get a PoseWithCovarianceStamped message.

rviz publishes goals on the topic /move_base_simple/goal as a geometry_msgs/PoseStamped.

@David thanks got it. Do you know how I can now convert this to a goal coordinate. Im not having any luck

What do you mean by goal coordinate?

David Lu ( 2014-11-25 16:43:13 -0500 )edit

Sorry about that. How do I convert the PoseStamped to MoveBaseGoal() if at all possible?

Giza ( 2014-11-26 12:10:55 -0500 )edit

If you look at http://wiki.ros.org/move_base_msgs you'll see that all MoveBaseGoal contains is a PoseStamped.
