Dear All,

I am using rviz for monitoring the path planning of my mobile robot. It is easily possible to subscribe to a topic and visualize the results data. I wonder how I can save the data of planned path by the planner. I can save topics in a bag file but the problem is that I cannot extract and use them in other software. More clearly, I need to plot this path in Matlab software. Does anybody have any idea how to do it? How do I extract this information from a bag file or Is there any other way to save this data in another format which is usable in Matlab?

The easiest method is probably to convert the data in the bag file to a csv file, have a look at this topic for some suggestions how to do that:

how to extract data from a bag

Matlab is capable of loading the csv files and for a description of how one person did that you can even have a look over here: exporting ros bag files to matlab

Good luck

No need to convert to csv if you have the Robotic System Toolbox. See Open and parse rosbag log file.
