The ROS-USARSim bridge has very basic functionality. I believe that the encoder is yet another example of a USARSim sensor that is not currently supported. You can comment this out of the USARSim configuration file. The app should still work. Does it?

I believe that the issue is that the USARSim-ROS bridge does not support cameras. There are three possible solutions to your issue: 1) Ignore the message (it does not affect the rest of the code) 2) Remove the camera from your robot configuration file 3) Add code to the bridge to support the publication of the camera image

Unless you need the camera image for your ROS code, I would suggest solution 1.

I am trying to install the motoman stack from ros industrial on a fuerte installation. When I compile (with a rosmake), I receive the error "Cannot find required resource: warehouse_ros". I have downloaded and installed warehouse_ros from the git repository located at https://github.com/ros-planning/warehouse_ros.git, but the problem did not go away. Any ideas?

BTW, the reason that I am doing this is to experiment with the Fast_IK solution found at http://www.ros.org/wiki/Industrial/Tutorials/Create_a_Fast_IK_Solution. However, when I installed this package, I was missing the sia10d_mesh_arm_navigation and started down a path of installing from git. Any help with the Fast_IK would also be appreciated!

This problem seems to be solved. I tried the exact same command this afternoon and it worked (it did not work this morning or last night...). Not sure what happened here.

Hi, I am trying to install the ros-fuerte-arm-navigation package on a fresh install of ROS. I am getting the following errors when I run: sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-arm-navigation --fix-missing

I have seen similar posts to this, but they seem to imply that there are left over packages from a previous install. Mine is a fresh install, so this is not the issue. Help would be much appreciated!

Do you know if there is a time table for actionlib support?

Hi, I am new to rosjava (and ros) and am trying to control a robotic arm using joint control and rosjava. I am able to do this with c++ using the follow_joint_trajectory/goal topic and a FollowJointTrajectoryActionGoal message. However, I have not been able to find an equivalent class in Java (the FollowJointTrajectoryActionGoal.java is an interface). Are there any tutorials that anyone can point me to or can someone point me to the appropriate message to send? Thanks!

When trying to make the simple example from the rosjava page I am running into several problems. The first is that rosdep is complaining that it cannot install 'ant'. This seems to be a solved problem (see https://code.ros.org/trac/ros/ticket/3783) but for some reason it is still a problem on my system.

Even when I make with a "rosmake --no-rosdep" I get problems with std_msgs for example: check-gen-srv-skip:

gen-srv:

compile: [javac] Compiling 3 source files to /home/stephen/.ros/rosjava/build/actionlib_msgs [javac] GoalStatusArray.java:9: package org.ros.message.std_msgs does not exist [javac] public org.ros.message.std_msgs.Header header = new org.ros.message.std_msgs.Header();
