Robot location jump in RVIZ window

asked 2016-09-13 03:01:11 -0600

samping gravatar image

Hi everyone,

I have a robot positioning problem in my simulation.

In the simulation my robot will suddenly jump place near the it`s original location. Some time it will recover by itself.

And some time it just stay there, which lead to problem of collision of something even worse.

I cannot figure out which part I have done wrong.

I will put the video of my error in below, and I can provide other detail as request.

you might skip to 40second to see what happen in my rviz window

Where does the position information for the RVIZ comes from? From a localization method? Could you provide more information on what you're doing in the simulation?

I am currently running a simulation using teb_local_planner.

The following url is the paste bin for the .yaml file

Ok, What are the red arrows? Where does that information come from?

there is some issue with localisation... provide more information on the launch file

The red arrows is the data from amcl.

Yes sure, the following url is the paste bin for my launch code, and there is a command after this comment

I guess you are using amcl to localize the robot. If that is the case, what is happening is that you have very little or redundant information about the map you are in, which results in many candidate poses for acml.

Imagine your robot is in an empty square room, facing a corner. How can you tell which corner the robot is facing?

To solve you problem, either create a map with more distinct features or play with amcl parameters, as reducing the number of particles or setting the parameters recovery_alpha_slow and recovery_alpha_fast to 0.

Could you tell me how to create a map with more distinct feature. I am confuse about how to add more feature.My map are basically a .png file convert from my cad drawing I have try to set recovery_alpha_slow and recovery_alpha_fast 0.0, and unfortunately it does not work in this case.

I have increase my resample_interval:1 to 100 in amcl_params.yaml, and It does improve my positioning problem, but the jumping problem is still happen during the simulation.

to create a better map for localization, try to add more features, as walls, objects, etc...

I would suggest reading up on SLAM, particularly particle filter SLAM. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUkBa... It seems the robot can't find itself due to the similarity of map regions. What's the laser range? You can also have a discrepancy in unit size between odometry/grid map/laser data.

I do not think I am using slam for my package
