Hello Sebastian,

thank you very much for your fast help :) it works! I must say that I was near to the solution, what I was missing was that I had to manually start robot_1 localization. Moreover, you said that the localization of robot_1 may fail depending on the map, and I experimented that it can also depend on when you start the localization.


Without meaning to take advantage of your kindness, may I ask you two more questions?

  1. When robot_1 starts its localization, I got the following error spamming on the console (i put output="screen" in the nodes I added in tutorial4 launch file): "[ERROR] [1410440608.176896222, 224.700000000]: Could not get robot position: Could not find a connection between 'robot_1/map' and 'robot_1/base_link' because they are not part of the same tree.Tf has two or more unconnected trees.". Is there something I can do to solve this problem, or can I ignore it?
  2. In RVIZ, R0:RobotModel (and R1:RobotModel) has the error "No transform from [robot_0/p3at_back_left_wheel] to [map]" on robot_X/p3at_back_left_wheel (the same for the back/front left/right wheels). I got this error in tutorial4 aswell, so I imagine it can be related to p2os and the fact that I'm on Hydro. Unluckily I have absolutely no knowledge on how robot models are built, my bad. Do you have any suggestion on how to fix this problem?

Again, thank you very much,

Regards.

Hi everyone,

I started using the nav2d package and did the four tutorials with success.

In the 3rd tutorial you can make a robot autonomously explore an unknown map. In the 4th, you can move two robots via joystick, exploring a map and have one robot localize itself via amcl.

What I'm trying to achieve is a sort of "mix" between the two tutorials, that is having two robots autonomously exploring and building the map while having one of them localizing itself.

I'm struggling on the rqt_graph and launch files, trying to understand how to make stuff work, but without results until now (I'm pretty new to ROS and don't know how the nav2d package elements work in detail). Can someone help figure out how to achieve this goal?

Thank you very much for your kind help,

Regards.
