How accurate is the depth map of the Kinect sensor?

The documentation generated by rosdoc_lite should be the same as the documentation generated locally. I think the reason that you're getting the "srv" and "cfg" namespaces to show up is because you're running rosdoc_lite on a package that has been built. As such, there are a bunch of auto-generated header files that Doxygen is processing that aren't run by the automated doc system.

Do you have a specific package in mind that you're seeing this for? If I know what you're trying to replicate, I can double check that this is, indeed the case.

It looks like you're trying to generate a rosinstall file for a wet stack with the dry toolchain. Can you try this instead?

I somehow missed this post. The list password has been reset, turns out you need to ask an administrator to do that for you, and the ticket closed.

You should be able to use the CostmapModel class in the base_local_planner package to allow you to check if a given pose is in collision. You can find documentation on the class here.

On Ubuntu, you should be able to install the navigation stack as follows:

sudo apt-get install ros-electric-navigation

For details on installing ROS in general, please have a look at: http://ros.org/wiki/ROS/Installation

Just to clarify. The costmap_2d is capable of taking updates to the static map from a SLAM system such as gmapping. Any time a new map comes in over the /map topic, the static map used by the navigation stack is re-initialized. Are you sure that the global costmap of the navigation stack is configured to subscribe to this map? If so, you should be seeing the move_base node as subscribed to the /map topic.
