So I made my own robot, and I wanted to use nav2 to control it. I have copied the turtlebot3 files and changed them to work with my robot. Everything works, I can even give it commands via rviz. However, the costmap doesn't work. I have tried everything and yet can't seem to get it working. All I changed was the world that was used by gazebo, the robot itself and I changed the map to my map and made small changes to the yaml file

This is the yaml file that I use:

Which ROS distribution do you use? If it is old, it may be related to this PR: https://github.com/ros2/rviz/pull/375

I'm using Eloquent, so I don't think it's related, but thank you for taking the time to answer regardless!

I am actually not sure what exactly is not working in your case. Could you be a little more specific about that?

There has been a change in the plugin interface (see here). Which version of navigation2 are you using? From what i can see, your yaml file still uses the old interface.

First, let me say thank you for taking the time to help me. Second, I have updated the question to hopefully explain my issue better. I am using the eloquent-devel branch of navigation2, with its latest changes. I have used the turtlebot yaml file in the eloquent-devel branch to make my yaml file, so I'm not sure if I'm using the old interface to be honest (and your link doesn't work for me, for some reason)

Looks like the new plugin interface does not effect the eloquent branch. Anyway, sorry for the broken link. For the sake of completeness: https://github.com/ros-planning/navigation2/blob/foxy-devel/doc/parameters/param_list.md#node-costmap_2d_ros

Are you sure, that the map file ./map/custom_map.yaml exists and is published correctly (especially with matching QoS)? Are there any relevant Log messages from the map server/ controller server?

I updated my question again, I hope I answered your questions.

So I found out what the problem was. The turtlebot is included in the world file. My robot was spawned in using the gazebo_ros spawner. This means I had to use gazebo_ros_factory.so when starting Gazebo. It seems I didn't start that properly. It started well enough not to report any errors, and it spawned my robot correctly. However it did break my costmap somehow

ETA: Just in case somebody has this problem. I start the gzserver using:

start_gazebo_server_cmd = ExecuteProcess(
    cmd=['gzserver', '--verbose', '-s', 'libgazebo_ros_init.so', '-s', 'libgazebo_ros_factory.so'],
    cwd=[this_share_dir], output='screen')

Not including the '-s', 'libgazebo_ros_factory.so' part seemed to break it. I have no idea how or why, but that seemed to be my issue.

I am facing the same issue. Were you able to fix it?
