EDITED

I followed the tutorial "OpenAI_ROS with Turtlebot2 Step by Step #Part 1" from The Construct, but in my local pc. I have everything running but start_training.launch is giving an error

No suscribers to cmd_vel_pub yet so we wait and try again

I`m not realizing what is missing. More detail bellow,

First I ran

roslaunch gym_construct main.launch gui:=true

which looks good, Gazebo maze environment was started, with output:

roslaunch gym_construct main.launch gui:=true

(Self-reflection). I presume that example_turtlebot2_maze_qlearn node is waiting for Turtlebot to be suscribed to cmd_vel topic. But it is not. However, if I launch roslaunch turtlebot_teleop keyboard_teleop.launch I am able to control Turtlebot in Gazebo. Then, I think Turtlebot is suscribed to one of the cmd_vel_mux members, but no to the specific cmd_vel topic the problematic node is waiting to. I can not figure out how to solve the puzzle.

SOLVED!

Finally I found in line 77 of turtlebot2_env.py file a publisher initialization @ topic /cmd_vel (which is has not suscriptors). So I changed for /cmd_vel_mux/iniput/teleop and seems to be working.

Hi jandisoon. I dont know if this the right place, maybe start a new question, and I will help you to do it. Let me know which part of the process I giving problems to you. I have installed openai from The Construct, and It was not so easy. But I think If you install from Stable Baseline 3, I would be easier.
