I am currently testing the localization for a robot, that has 2 imus mounted on the robot and the raw wheel odometry(I do not have access to modify the odometry calculations).

For that, I intended to use the robot_localization package. I have been through the other questions here, and some of the multiple things that I have tried myself were to set multiple combinations of the differential value, and to do some fiddling on the sensor messages covariances and on the process_noise_estimation covariance, and also to select different combinations of which variable to use on the state estimation.

From my last setup, you can find the ekf.yaml and a bagfile. FYI: The robot comes back to exactly the same position.

It will increase the size of the post significantly, but could you please include the contents of the yaml in your question? Pastebin has limited retention, which means that this questions will lose some of its value in the future.

Please use the Preformatted Text (101010) button for the yaml.

@gvdhoorn done.

Your images aren't showing. Can you please attach them to this post directly (instead of going through imgur)? I've give you enough karma to do that.

The images are now attached.

Can you please post sample input messages from each sensor as well? And if you have any static transforms defined, please post those. Oh, and please let me know how the IMUs are mounted.

Did you ever solve this?
