2016-12-15 12:37:41 -0500 | asked a question | dynamic reconfigure callback happens automatically when a node is launched without rqt client I am using dynamic_reconfigure in my node to adjust some params dynamically. I found that the first callback for dynamic reconfigure happens when the node is launched, specifically when I define the callback for dynamic reconfigure in my constructor. This causes my node to reject param values defined in my launch file and take in default values defined in cfg file for dynamic reconfigure. I would expect the callback to happen only when I launch rqt_dynamic_reconfigure which sets up a client, not when I set up the server in my node. At least a regular ROS server and client works this way, not callback on server side until a client makes calls to that server. In the implementation of dynamic reconfigure, is there a way to not have the callback happen when server is set up and only change param values when I launch rqt_dynamic_reconfigure? |
2016-11-02 00:02:31 -0500 | commented answer | Creating Packages of ros-<distro>-package_name type Yes. You can install rules to copy any directory into your /share directory of install like this - This will copy all files inside /launch directory of your package to /share/<pkg_name>/launch . |
2016-11-01 20:03:24 -0500 | answered a question | Creating Packages of ros-<distro>-package_name type Do catkin_make --install. This will create an install directory and put all your package binaries, launch files and config files in /lib and /share respectively. You can zip this install folder and unzip it in a different catkin workspace. Make sure you copy /lib into /opt/ros/lib and /share to /opt/ros/share. |

2015-05-28 10:34:39 -0500 | answered a question | Complete SLAM Implementation There are many pre-existing SLAM packages available in ROS. Each has different performances. Most packages have easy integration tutorials on ROS wiki. The most common 2D SLAM packages are - gmapping, hector_slam, MRPT slam For 3D SLAM, I haven't found a lot of support but here are a couple that might be useful. Some of them are not supported for ros-indigo so you might have to modify a little bit - RGBD slam, ICP |
2015-05-18 16:54:56 -0500 | asked a question | Exception thrown while processing service call: Time is out of dual 32-bit range I am doing a very simple implementation of ROS service. There are two nodes, server and client node and the only main variable is that I am using rosbags for streaming data used by callback method on server side. I am getting the following error on some callbacks - Can someone throw some light on why am I getting this error and how can I fix this for my service callback to work properly? |

2015-01-19 18:51:14 -0500 | asked a question | How to update map to odom with corrections from SLAM ? Our basic goal is to publish a map to odom transform that corrects for the drift of our odometry. We have a localization algorithm that uses landmarks to give an absolute position wrt the map frame. Our problem so far has been with how to best achieve this using the tf library. The strategy we are trying right now looks like: This was working fine up until we started calculating rotation in getPoseFromLandmarks(). When we apply rotation to the newPose, the poseDifference as well as the newMapToOdom values are not as we expect. It seems that the rotation happens before the translation (e.g. {x,y,z of poseDifference} != {x,y,z currentPose} - {x,y,z newPose}). This usually causes the corrections to accumulate and our x,y,z quickly goes to infinity. We have tried every combination we could think of to make this work; right vs left multiply, changing what we inverse and where, calculating translation difference separately from rotation difference. The only successful strategy we have had is to manually calculate the difference in the pose origins, manually calculate the difference in the yaw of both poses (which works since we are only updating the robots yaw for now), and then manually apply these results to the currentMapToOdom transform. While this works, it feels really hacky and won't work roll/pitch corrections. It seems like there should be a more elegant way to achieve this with TF math, or maybe a better strategy for calculating the corrected mapToOdom transform? Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance. Edit: The second approach is correct way to solve the problem. |
2015-01-05 13:21:07 -0500 | answered a question | How to calculate /tf in hector_slam? Firstly, hector_slam is independent of /tf for laser (watch this video). You can simply have a laser attached to a computer and walk around to create a 2D map. I haven't used the bag file that you mentioned before, but usually the bag file should contain time stamped /tf data, or simply create a urdf.xacro config file for your system and load it using robot_state_publisher to publish transforms. |
