Hello

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and ROS fuerte

I' simulating SLAM using gazebo and I followed Learning ROS book.

Now I reached move_base.launch but when I run it, it gave the following errors:

[ WARN] [1432083250.106400281,
919.561000000]: Waiting on transform from /base_footprint to /map to become available before running costmap, tf error:  [ WARN] [1432083251.263770834,
923.948000000]: No laser scan received (and thus no pose updates have been published) for 923.948000 seconds.  Verify that data is being published on the /scan topic.

Although, I proved that the laserscans are published by using:

rostopic echo scan

This is move_base file:

<launch>
  <!-- Run the map server -->
   <node name="map_server" pkg="map_server" type="map_server" args="$(find simulation)/maps/gazebo_map.yaml" output="screen">
</node>
  <include file="$(find amcl)/examples/amcl_diff.launch" >
  </include> 
  <node pkg="move_base" type="move_base" respawn="false" name="move_base" output="screen">
    <rosparam file="$(find simulation)/launch/costmap_common_params.yaml" command="load" ns="global_costmap" />
    <rosparam file="$(find simulation)/launch/costmap_common_params.yaml" command="load" ns="local_costmap" />
    <rosparam file="$(find simulation)/launch/local_costmap_params.yaml" command="load" />
    <rosparam file="$(find simulation)/launch/global_costmap_params.yaml" command="load" />
    <rosparam file="$(find simulation)/launch/base_local_planner_params.yaml" command="load" />
  </node>
</launch>

and this is my tf tree:

tf tree

Any idea?

Thank you.

It seems that you are missing the map frame, as it does not appear on your tf tree. Try to add the following line to the launch file:

<!-- Place map frame at odometry frame -->
<node pkg="tf" type="static_transform_publisher" name="map_odom_broadcaster"
      args="0 0 0 0 0 0 map odom 100"/>

That worked for me in the past. It includes the transformation from map to odom. Which, in this case, is the same.

Probably, you can do a remap of the odom to map as well but, I am not sure that will work.
