Hector Slam gets stuck
Here is an example of our gazebo setup with hectorslam: link
On smooth parts of the track, the estimated position of the car gets stuck.
We added some detail to our track model and it works slightly better, but still gets stuck: link
Is this a limitation of hectorslam or is it being used incorrectly? Does hectorslam make use of the odometry data? We didn't see it perform differently with or without odometry. Is there a way to check if our odometry data is correct?
Thank you!
We use Ubuntu 16.04, ROS kinetic 1.12.14 and the ros-kinetic-hector-slam
package.
