This is my graduation project from college and I can't figure out the problem. I have an environment build specifically for this project and build a map of it with hector SLAM. The goal is for the Mobile robot moving around the static map for specific goal set by Rviz.

UPDATE THE OLD 2 BEHAVIORS ARE NOT HAPPENING ANYMORE: I ADJUSTED LINOROBOT COSTMAPS TO WORK FOR ME AND IT FIXED THOSE 2 ERRORS. HOWEVER, THIS SOLUTION INTRODUCED:

DWA planner failed to produce path

Off Map 1.098, -0.050

Old behaviors:

Rviz behavior Video: Google drive Rviz localization video

Rviz behavior when trying to estimate pose: Google drive estimate pose behavior NOTE: the robot was not in the designed environment when taking this video, this video is just for demonstration

The errors I'm getting: UPDATED

I don't see you odom-->base_link transform. Is that in there somewhere? Also, TF configuration: Tree --> odom --> base_link --> laser --> map is incorrect if that is really is how it is set up. Run rosrun tf view_frames to get view. Should be map-->odom-->base_link-->laser. What is "Tree"?

I fixed the tree to what you suggested yes now it is "map-->odom-->base_link-->laser" I think amcl from the Navigation Stack provide the transform from odom to base_link, right?

I'm working on it now and after fixing the tree, a new error for the the local_costmap it says it doesn't have a map!

The frame pdf generated by rosrun tf view frame

Your frame.pdf shows odom-->base_link is coming from the diff node I didn't see above. AMCL is publishing the map --> odom TF so you've got a lot working. Can you see the map in RVIZ? Update your question with new error.

Is it okay that the frames are coming from the diff node and the AMCL? I will update it right now. UPDATED. should I close this question and start a new one? and Billy do you mind sharing contact information if you are welling to help me get this to work? the problems are path and driving

Me providing contact information would require I get named credit on the Project Cover page. Better to keep it public to help others with similar questions.

Current error of "off map" seems intuitive. How did you set initial pose and goal?
