Hello,

I am using robot_pose_ekf to fuse data from IMU, encoders and gps. Filter is performing really bad. Results are far from being precise.

During the running of the node, i get several errors:

[ERROR] [1373966320.259468440]: Timestamps of odometry and imu are 1.463487 seconds apart.
[ERROR] [1373966703.475481395]: Could not transform imu message from base_link to base_footprint

Possible reasons are listed at

Also, when I am using GPS sensor, Filter is performing really badly with great delays.

If anyone has idea how to fix timestamps, for the beginning, or if anyone got robot_pose_ekf running properly (I see there is a lot of issue with this one), please post here.

Just to clarify how fast is the GPS information coming in?

I'm getting the same issues when using robot_pose_ekf alongside with hector_gazebo_imu_plugin.. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks..

This question could use more details. Can you perhaps attach your tf tree visualization? Are all your sensors attached to the same computer? Are there any nan values going into the filter from any of the sensor messages?
