2015-05-12 11:30:33 -0500 asked a question controller and ros manager

hello everyone : I am using the ros controller , and I have wrote a controller and a controller manager , but when I want to load the controller to ros manager , I get some problem:

[ERROR] [1431447499.444484032]: Could not load class drive_controller/DriveController: Failed to load library /home/exbot/Documents/ROS/control_error/devel/lib//libdrive_controller.so. Make sure that you are calling the PLUGINLIB_EXPORT_CLASS macro in the library code, and that names are consistent between this macro and your XML. Error string: Could not load library (Poco exception = /home/exbot/Documents/ROS/control_error/devel/lib//libdrive_controller.so: undefined symbol: _ZTVN16drive_controller15DriveControllerE)

[ERROR] [WallTime: 1431447500.445374] Failed to load exp_drive_controller

and this is drive_controller's CMakeLists.txt:

  cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(drive_controller)

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
  controller_interface
  hardware_interface
  realtime_tools
  roscpp
  pluginlib
  rospy
  tf
  urdf
)

 find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS system)


catkin_package(
  INCLUDE_DIRS include
  LIBRARIES drive_controller
  CATKIN_DEPENDS controller_interface hardware_interface realtime_tools roscpp rospy tf urdf

    <node name="exp_hard_soft" pkg="exp_hardware" type="exp_hardware" output="screen"/>

2015-04-01 04:23:02 -0500 asked a question some problem about the hector exploration control

Hello everyone:

I am trying to use hector navigation stack on my wheeled robot , and the package I used is :

hector_costmap,

hector_exploration_node,

hector_elevation_mapping

hector_exploration_controller.

After running these package , I could see the path in the rviz , but My robot tends to just rotating along z-axis (perpendicular to the ground) almost all of the time. May I know what did I do wrongly?

edit:the turning speed is 0.4m/s the moving speed is 0.15m/s. The lidar I used is URG-04LX-UG01

Here is my hector_mapping.launch(start the hector_slam): <launch>

<node pkg="hector_mapping" type="hector_mapping" name="hector_mapping" output="screen">

Can anybody help me?Thanks a lot

2015-03-27 12:14:05 -0500 asked a question some question about the frame of the hector slam

Hello everyone:

I am studying the hector slam . I have some questions when I watch the some example about the .launch file: 1.what is the base_stabilized frame ? 2.what is the scan_matcher frame ? Is there some special affect for them?

Thanks in advance:)

Hello everyone:

I am making a 'DIY' robot , now I want to mark some special mark (red dot......)in the occupy map (made by SLAM) when I found some special things from the usb_cam. Could anybody give me some advise ,thanks a lot .

hello everyone:

I am studying the hector_slam , and I got some problem : I have successful use the hector_mapping and the geotiff to get a map , and now I want to use the hector_costmap and hector_exploration_planner,controller (just like the robcup rescue) , but I have no ideas how to do it , can anybody give me some advise ?

2015-03-09 01:31:50 -0500 answered a question how to double the resolution of the map ?

I don't know what you want to do , but you can change the resolution in the .world file , and use it in stage_ros , hope it can help you .

By the way, could you tell me more information about yourself ? I am in xi an ,too.

2015-03-09 01:07:21 -0500 commented question about the rqt_pose_view

Thanks for you answer , I found that I did not drag topic on the plugin of pose_view , after dragging , everything has been ok.

2015-03-07 21:21:34 -0500 answered a question how to generate odometry with slam?

generally speaking , you could not use the navigation stack without odometry
I hope this picture could help you: image description

you could see there is odometry pass into the move_base

2015-03-07 20:44:55 -0500 asked a question about the rqt_pose_view

hello every one:

I am learning to use rqt_pose_view, but I get some problem , I just follow this website wiki.ros.org/rqt_pose_view to test it ,but there is no change with the pose_view showing , then I used the command rostopic list, but I find nothing about the pose message . Could anyone tell me how to use the pose_view to show the pose of robot or which topic the is subscribed by the rqt_pose_view ?

Thanks

Thank you , I have awared this just now , but I also would like to know : are there some plugins in rqt that could get the laser scanning map and display it in real-time ? (not rviz) So can you give me some advise?
