Remapping using roslaunch python API
I am using roslaunch API to call two SLAM launcher one after the other. This is my code
#!/usr/bin/env python
import roslaunch
import rospy
if __name__=='__main__':
rospy.init_node('launch_manipulation', anonymous = True)
uuid = roslaunch.rlutil.get_or_generate_uuid(None, False)
roslaunch.configure_logging(uuid)
launch1 = roslaunch.parent.ROSLaunchParent(uuid, ["/home/john/catkin_ws/src/crsm-slam-ros-pkg/crsm_slam/launch/crsm_slam_simulation.launch"])
launch2 = roslaunch.parent.ROSLaunchParent(uuid, ["/home/john/catkin_ws/src/hector_slam/hector_mapping/launch/mapping_default.launch"])
rospy.loginfo("~~~~~~~~~~~~********CRSM IS ON********~~~~~~~~~~~~")
launch1.start()
rospy.sleep(20)
#3 seconds later
launch1.shutdown()
launch2.start()
rospy.loginfo("~~~~~~~~~~~~********HECTOR IS ON*********~~~~~~~~~~~~")
rospy.sleep(10)
launch2.shutdown()
So when I see the maps that each SLAM produces on rviz I have to change manually the map topic
in order to see second SLAM's output.I know that I can remap the topic from a string to another, but every slam has its own topic. Therefore, I would need to know the previous topic, in order to do the remap each time. Is there a way through which I can take the topic (whichever that is) and change it to the desired one?
