SLAM Parameter srr, srt, stt, str

edit

Hello everyone,

For my university project i use the gmapping algorithm to make a map. I use the robotino 3 from the company festo didactic and also a microsoft kinect Xbox 360 Version 1 on the gazebo simulation. I am trying to improve my parameter to get a better map, but it is really hard to make some improvement.

I know on the simulation you have a perfect odometry, but the real robot system hasnt it. I see on the parameter list from gmapping you can gave the odometry some error, but I dont know how to specify this error (srr, srt, stt, str). I think the default value are high, that is the reason that I get a bad map.

My question is: why is this value so high and how I specify the value for my robot? How can I tune my gmapping parameter to get a better map?

I hope you can me get some tips!
