To start up I'm trying to run Rviz on my remote pc but there's a step that gives me an error. By the way I'm following the steps on the following website |section 7|. http://emanual.robotis.com/docs/en/pl...

Something that might be useful to know

  1. I'm running melodic on remote pc, Ubuntu 18.04.
  2. I'm running kinetic on turtlebot pc, Ubuntu MATE 16.04.

    • To begin with I run roscore on my remote pc.
    • Second- I ran roslaunch turtlebot3_bringup turtlebot3_robot.launch on my turtle pc.

Those steps work completely fine. Now I'm supposed to export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=${TB3_MODEL}on my remote pc so it recognizes my turtle pc. In this case I don't have too because I've permanently set the export settings. So the next step will be running roslaunch turtlebot3_bringup turtlebot3_remote.launch on my remote pc but this step prints out this error on my terminal!

I'm kind of new to this area of ROS and working with terminal so please excuse my ignorance.

Not exactly sure what you originally wanted to do, but I just try to answer for the error you posted.

roslaunch failure seems to be happening because parsing xacro file somehow failed. Why that happened is not clear to me. I'd suggest:

  • xacro file passed is valid by something like #q9208
  • rospkg might be missing, so install it.

I've already installed rospkg. I've never had this issue before and I don't know why is doing it!!

I have the same error, if you've solved it, could you please tell me how?
