Hi, i am quite new to ros and trying out how to get to s specific goal. I am using Ros Kinetic, turtlebot3 package and writing the code in python. I followed the example here. It works if i input the goals from the keyboard but if i directly define the goals as a value, i get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/amr/catkin_ws/src/oe-161016_tier4/oe_161016_prj/src/turtle_sim.py", line 139, in <module>
    object.move2goal()
  File "/home/amr/catkin_ws/src/oe-161016_tier4/oe_161016_prj/src/turtle_sim.py", line 102, in move2goal
    while self.euclidean_distance(goal_pose) >= distance_tolerance:
  File "/home/amr/catkin_ws/src/oe-161016_tier4/oe_161016_prj/src/turtle_sim.py", line 55, in euclidean_distance
    return sqrt(pow((goal_pose.position.x - self.pose.pose[1].position.x), 2) +
AttributeError: 'Pose' object has no attribute 'pose'

I am assuming that asking the user for an input and just giving the direct goal value should be the same thing. I apparently cannot attch files because i need up to 5 points so below is my full code. Its not exactly the same as in the example because i am subscribing to the gazebo/modelstates topic and it has a different structure.

sqrt(pow((goal_pose.position.x - self.pose.pose[1].position.x), 2) + AttributeError: 'Pose' object has no attribute 'pose'

That is the error. pose has position as attribute, but not pose. Where did you get this line from? It is not in the example. The corresponding lie from example is

return sqrt(pow((goal_pose.x - self.pose.x), 2) +
                    pow((goal_pose.y - self.pose.y), 2))

where they do not make reference to a second level of pose.

Looking at definition of pose messages on http://docs.ros.org/api/geometry_msgs... you'll see only position and orientation in a pose.

A representation of pose in free space, composed of position and orientation. 
Point position
Quaternion orientation

Thank you for your reply. I have updated my question.

Yes that line is not the same because i am subscribing to a different topic. And this topic(gazebo/modelstates) has a different structure. I unfortunately cannot attach a snapshot of what is being published to this topic but it has at least two positions and orientations, depending on the robot and other objects in the model
