Hi,

i tried to use laser_scan_matcher to simulate a odometry. I used the pose2d and the iri_msg_to_odom to create this. It seems to work. Now i want gmapping to subscribe this odometry and i used static_transform_publisher for odom -> base_link and base_link -> laser. But now gmapping told me this:

if i change tf_publisher to base_link -> odom it seems to work but sometimes every few seconds or so the error comes again. And the map doesn't really looks fine in rviz.

Whats wrong? :)

Are you really using a static_transform_publisher for odom -> base_link? This should be a dynamic transform, published by your laser_scan_matcher. Its not that important, if this odometry is a bit poor, but it should be continuos during the entire run (e.g. no big jumps).

You cannot use a static_transform_publisher for the transform odom -> base_link. This transform must be generated by laser_scan_matcher. Just change the parameter fixed_frame from world to odom in laser_scan_matcher to achieve that.
