Hi Everyone,

i hope someone can answer me a question. I have a custom robot and i would like to use the Navigation-Stack of ROS. i follow this tutorial: ( http://wiki.ros.org/navigation ) The Problem is that anything is incorrect on my Transform-Boradcaster. The tf-tree is map-->odom-->base_link-->base_laser.

Here is my Transform-Broadcaster:

#include <ros/ros.h>
#include <tf/transform_broadcaster.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv){

ROS_INFO("starte tf_broadcaster!");
ros::init(argc, argv, "robot_tf_publisher");
ros::NodeHandle n;

ros::Rate r(100);

tf::TransformBroadcaster broadcaster;

while(n.ok()){
  broadcaster.sendTransform(
     tf::StampedTransform(
     tf::Transform(tf::Quaternion(0, 0, 0, 1), tf::Vector3(0.1, 0.0, 0.2)),
     ros::Time::now(),"base_link", "base_laser"));

     broadcaster.sendTransform(
     tf::StampedTransform(
     tf::Transform(tf::Quaternion(0, 0, 0, 0), tf::Vector3(0.0, 0.0, 0.0)),
     ros::Time::now(),"odom", "base_link"));

     broadcaster.sendTransform(
     tf::StampedTransform(
     tf::Transform(tf::Quaternion(0, 0, 0, 0), tf::Vector3(0.0, 0.0, 0.0)),
     ros::Time::now(),"map", "odom"));

  r.sleep();
 }
}

If i start the Ros-Navigation the last Message is "odom received". All is ok! So when i click on "2D Pose Estimate" the result is this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n211hzuvjrr...

The Odom-Frame and the base_link/base_laser-Frame are on two different places. Why?

if i still click on the button "2D Nav Goal" the robot rotates in a circle and i get an Error:

"Rotate recovery can't´t rotate in place because there is a potential collision. cost -1.00"

Here is the log: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7d4fv3ad2h2...

I think the Problem is the Transform-Broadcaster. Can anybody help me?

Thanks

Max

odom -> base_link transform should not be static as you are publishing . Check how to publish odom.
