Hello,

is someone looking for a job in Germany? The company, i am working for, is currently looking for someone with ROS-experiences.

Have a look here: www.kristronics.de

By adding a link for the depthframe I got rid of the wrong transform.

sdf

<pose>0.29 0.0 1.068 0.05 0.535 0.13</pose>

urdf

<origin xyz="0.29 0.0 1.068" rpy="0.05 0.535 0.13"/>

When I change it

<origin xyz="0.29 0.0 1.068" rpy="1.035 3.1 1.675"/>

the pointcloud fits the laserscan. But why?

In gazebo my model.sdf the pose is the following:

<pose>0.29 0.0 1.068 0.05 0.535 0.13</pose>

And in my robot.urdf the origin is the following:

<origin xyz="0.29 0.0 1.068" rpy="0.05 0.535 0.13"/>

When I change the origin to be:

<origin xyz="0.29 0.0 1.068" rpy="1.035 3.1 1.675"/>

the pointcloud fits together with the laserscan. But why do I have to do this? Where does the twist come from?

Hello, I am new to ROS. I am trying to simulate a robot in gazebo witch works fine for now, but I have a problem with simulating a kinect camera. The simulated data seems to be right, but when I try to display the results in rviz the transform is not correct. Can anyone give me a hint where my coding went wrong?

Gazebo: 6.1.0 Ros: Indigo Rviz: 1.11.8
