Plotting Lidar Scan data in rviz

edit

Hey Marti Morta, for me you are no less than an expert and am reading all that you have said and it is helping me a lot. very many thanks. Now, maybe one more help from you and I could become more well-versed on what I am hoping to achieve. I am using HuskyA200 Robot platform alongwith several sensors like Axis PTZ camera, Kinect, Lidar and GPS. All I wish to do is Localization and Mapping with Obstacle avoidance. If I could well achieve this, I would also like to add some sort of Artificial Intelligence in the form of Fuzzy Logic, Neuro-fuzzy, or Particle Swarm Optimization to make it capable of generating the complete map autonomously.

Can you please guide me on what are the available modules, nodes and tutorials I can refer to to achieve some or all the sections of this Project.

Thanks fr ur help n lookin' forward for a response.

Hi Marti Morta,

Thanks a lot for that piece of information. Now I am able to visualize my LIDAR output in rviz. However, the .Global status still shows an error stating the frame [/laser] does not exist.

I also get the output in a flipped position. Is this the default form of display or can this be modified?

Any information on this would be helpful.

Thanks.
