Hi, I can run pr2 simulator on gazebo by following instructions: roslaunch gazebo_worlds empty_world.launch roslaunch pr2_gazebo pr2.launch

And I run pr2.launch I found some errors, but it showed pr2 successfully. What happened to these errors? Thank you~

I am using ubuntu10.04 32 bits system. I install C-turtle version. My installation method is following installing web page before. sudo apt-get install ros-cturtle-pr2all

and my output is

Please update your question to say how you installed ROS and/or what versions of things you are running? I checked on my machine and everything launched correctly in both cturtle and diamondback from debs.

I had the same problem, TF tree was connected but had the same error, Could not transform imu message from /base_imu to /base_footprint. It was solved by changing the frame id of IMU to /base_footprint............Thats it

The errror you're seeing is a race condition between waitForTransform and lookupTransform. This is however not the underlying problem. You somehow have two unconnected tf trees. I would assume you are running two or more gazebo instances in parallel, and therefore have multiple definitions of time. Before you run 'roslaunch gazebo_worlds empty_world.launch', can you run 'rostopic list' to make sure no other instance of gazebo is running already?

I have checked that I only have one instance.But I found that this problem is disappeared...I guess when I reboot the system auto fixed that problem...Is that right?

If you rebooted the computer, another instance somewhere else on the system would have been cleaned up.
