Dear all,

I want to configure the package robot_localization (using Xsense IMU), in order that it takes into account the orientation of the robot (roll, pitch and for sure yaw) while rotating.

Unfortunately, I did not find any documentation or example to configure it correctly.

I have achieved to configure it where it takes into account the the rotation on Roll as well as the Z position of the robot with the following configuration file

frequency: 20
two_d_mode: false

# X, Y, Z
# roll, pitch, yaw
# X vel, Y vel, Z vel
# roll vel, pitch vel, yaw vel
# X accel, Y accel, Z accel

#Odometry input config

odom0: /odom
odom0_config: 
[false, false, false,
false, false, false,
true, true, true,
true, true, true,
false, false, true]
odom0_differential: false
odom0_relative: true

# input config
imu0: /imu/data # Xsense
imu0_config: 
[false, false, false,
true,  true,  true,
false, false, false,
true,  true,  true,
true,  false,  true]

mu0_differential: false
imu0_relative: true
imu0_remove_gravitational_acceleration: false
dynamic_process_noise_covariance: true
#Frames config
odom_frame: odom
base_link_frame: base_link
world_frame: odom

But this configuration does not work when I tried to rotate the robot around X axis (pitch)

But, When I tried the following configuration it worked well for the rotation on Pitch and this time was not taking into account the Roll rotation

frequency: 20
two_d_mode: false

# X, Y, Z
# roll, pitch, yaw
# X vel, Y vel, Z vel
# roll vel, pitch vel, yaw vel
# X accel, Y accel, Z accel

#Odometry input config
odom0: /odom
odom0_config: [false, false, false,
false, false, false,
true, true, true,
true, true, true,
false, false, false]
odom0_differential: false
odom0_relative: true


# input config
#imu0: /imu # Razor
imu0: /imu/data # Xsense
imu0_config: [false, false, false,
true,  true,  true,
false, false, false,
true,  true,  true,
true,  false,  false]

imu0_differential: false
imu0_relative: true
imu0_remove_gravitational_acceleration: false


dynamic_process_noise_covariance: true

#Frames config
odom_frame: odom
base_link_frame: base_link
world_frame: odom

The difference between these two is taking into account the acceleration on Z axis (for both IMU and odometry).

Do you know why I get this results?

Thanks in advance,

Are you referring to your specific combination of sensors? Because robot_localization has quite extensive documentation. For example the Configuring robot_localization page.

Thanks for your comment. I do not know how you define "extensive documentation" but unfortunately there is no clear explanation on how to configure robot_localization for a robot which moves in a 3D world not on the website nor in the presentation video.

That's why I asked whether you were asking for something specific to your setup. It would be good to add that you are looking for a 6D state estimate, and not a regular 2.5D one.

I work on a mobile robot (nonholonomic) which is equipped with an IMU (xsense). As you know well, the configuration for a planar movement has been clearly explained and there are many examples on the Internet. But, for some reasons, I want to know the orientation of the robot (the robot can pass side walks for example) and till now I did not achieve to configure the robot_localization correctly.

Please include sample input messages from all sensor inputs. Also, please include any static transforms you may be using.

Also, can you provide more detail beyond "didn't work"? Maybe show some images?

Any update on this? If the question is no longer valid, would you mind closing it?
