Hello,

I'm following the tutorial on http://wiki.ros.org/nao/Tutorials/Get... and in the Step 1.1. where I'm supposed to select a nao.rviz

src/nao_robot/nao_description/config/nao.rviz

I cannot find in the specified directory and as a result not able to load nao onto rviz.

You quick response would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

This tutorial seems outdated as it starts with "Note: WARNING: This tutorial may be outdated and specific to the Nao ROS packages v0.1.". Maybe there is another tutorial that is more recent/up-to-date?

Looking at the nao_robot repository, there are 2 RViz config files:

urdf.rviz file in src/nao_robot/nao_description/config/urdf.rviz that displays the robot model and it's transforms
nao_full.rviz at nao_bringup/config/nao_full.rviz. It seems to display the sensor data as well and not only the model of the robot.

As the screenshot in the tutorial shows camera images and sonar data, I think you want to use the second one. Hope this helps,

Thanks for your reply. I already tried the config file you specified. As soon as I select this config file rviz crashes with this error:

Thanks and sorry about that, I'm rather new to this forum.

When I select nao_full.rviz at nao_bringup/config/nao_full.rviz -- rviz crashes with the following message

This still doesn't give use the commands you ran before starting RViz. Did you run any launchfile from nao_bringup before starting RViz (cf 1.0 of tutorial) ? robot description is set in nao_description/upload_nao.launch, that is launched automatically when you start nao_bringup/nao_full_py.launch
