Navigation: Robot cannnot reach goal
Hello everyone, I'm using navigation stack on a turtlebot-based robot. When launching move_base.launch, I can send 2d nav goal in Rviz and robot cannot find its way to the goal, it just makes small movements. It only reaches it when it is a orientation change but not position one. I looked for errors with roswtf and I get:
ERROR The following nodes should be connected but aren't: * /move_base->/move_base (/move_base/global_costmap/footprint) * /move_base->/move_base (/move_base/local_costmap/footprint)
How can I fix it?
