robot model not showing up when using tf_prefix
HI! So I wanted to test out the <group ns=""> and tf_prefix on one robot before doing 2.
The robot driver file is this: https://github.com/AutonomyLab/create...
This is my launch file:
<launch>
<node pkg="imu" type="imu" name="imu"/>
<group ns="robot_0">
<param name="tf_prefix" value="robot_0" />
<include file="$(find ca_driver)/launch/create_2.launch"/>
</group>
</launch>
I did not get any errors although for some reason the robot model isn't showing at all. Also, I couldn't view left_wheel and right_wheel_link tf on rviz.
Do I need to change my urdf files? Maybe something like:
<link name="$(tf_prefix)base_link"/>
and for base_footprint and all link?
Also, I think the problem is I have a base_footprint and a robot_0/base_footprint
the odom is going to the base_footprint while the robot_0/base_footprint is going to robot_0/base_link
EDIT:
So I went directly into the config and
change frame from base_footprint to "robot_0/base_footprint"
and
odom to "robot_0/odom"
it seemed to work because tf tree goes from robot_0/odom to robot_0/base_footprint to robot_0/base_link to all the links
BUT the robot model urdf is still not showing
EDIT 2:
When I ran rviz, sometimes it gave me this error:
Message from [/robot_0/ca_driver] has a non-fully-qualified frame_id [robot_0/odom]. Resolved locally to [robot_0/odom]. This is will likely not work in multi-robot systems.
Usually I don't have too much problem with robot model not appear as long as the tf of base_link is there. However, when I start the amcl with urg_node, it doesn't localize as well as if I just not use tf_prefix.
Also, I notice that I under robot model in rviz, there are links, but when I use tf_prefix there aren't any, does that mean that I need to add tf_prefix before each link in the urdf file?
Any help is appreciated! Thank you!!!
