Hi Everyone,

Has anyone had an experience with the robot following the path and going off it from time to time? It causes my robot to run into the walls and Im struggling with finding the solution to this problem. I should also mention that the robot doesn't see the obstacles and I don't know how to go out this.

Kind regards, Maciej

With the reply to the comment I am posting all my config files below, if code is needed, this will be provided too.

You should provide more information like packages, launch files, configuration files, parameters you use, and any console outputs (warnings, errors, etc), and screenshots if applicable.

At first, it seems like you have a problem with observation sources configuration;

observation_sources: my_sensor laser_cloud

laser_scan_sensor: {sensor_frame: my_sensor, data_type: LaserScan, topic: scan, marking: true, clearing: true}

point_cloud_sensor: {sensor_frame: laser_cloud, data_type: PointCloud, topic: topic_name, marking: true, clearing: true}

You define your sources as my_sensor and laser_cloud but you name them as laser_scan_sensor and point_cloud_sensor . Therefore try changing to this;

observation_sources: laser_scan_sensor point_cloud_sensor

laser_scan_sensor: {sensor_frame: my_sensor, data_type: LaserScan, topic: scan, marking: true, clearing: true}

point_cloud_sensor: {sensor_frame: laser_cloud, data_type: PointCloud, topic: topic_name, marking: true, clearing: true}

I corrected it but the problem still persists... the local map doesn't update and sometimes flickers should I attach laser scanner and cloud code? is there any way to not use them and still get localisation?
