| 2015-06-10 02:40:12 -0600 | marked best answer | Is there a good tf2 tutorial ? Hi there, Trying to use tf2 with hydro here, however I just can't get the tutorials to work. For the broadcaster, the C++ tutorial is missing. For the listener, there is a structure that seems to be inexistant : tf2_ros::PoseStamped; and the broadcaster uses another structure geometry_msgs::TransformStamped. The listener tells me there it doesn't have a lookupTransform method. I think the existing tutorials are outdated, so any help in understanding how to use tf2 : listeners, broadcasters and data types, would be appreciated. Guido |
| 2015-04-07 07:10:56 -0600 | answered a question | Ros PCL segmentation for dominant plane The solution proposed by Stefan suppose your cloud is expressed in a frame where Z points upwards. If the point cloud is expressed in the camera frame, there is no easy way to make the difference between the floor and a wall without more assumptions. If your camera is pointing to the floor you could choose the plan intersecting the optical axis (Z camera axis). |
| 2015-04-06 09:02:58 -0600 | asked a question | Full body navigation stack Hi, I am looking for a stack/package which allows planning a motion to get near a table for manipulation. The pr2 navigation stack is more into avoiding obstacles than going near them. I used to rely on http://wiki.ros.org/3d_navigation but it does not work anymore since fuerte. Is anyone aware of a solution ? Best regards, Guido |

| 2014-09-25 06:19:50 -0600 | asked a question | Ork Renderer Sampling Hi, I want to use the ork_renderer package to extract views of a textured 3D model. I was curious about the sampling limits and step. Taking a look at the code I find that the default values are -80° to +80°, for the limits, and 40° for the step. Where does these values come from ? Why -80 to 80 and not -180 to 180 ? Is it possible to change these values without hard coding them ? Best regards, Guido Manfredi |

| 2014-04-20 12:21:40 -0600 | marked best answer | Callbacks in pr2 controllers Hi ros answers users, I'm currently trying to make a custom controller work on pr2. I have two subscribers inside the controller.My problem is that their respective callbacks are not called. Moreover I noticed that the existing controllers on pr2 (namely joint_spline_controller and joint_velocity_controller ) don't call spinOnce. Still, they use subscribers and callbacks. So my question is how and when are callbacks called for a controller ? Guido |

Hi all, Looking into the pr2 navigation configuration: costmap_common_params.yaml, we saw that there are 4 sources: tilt_scan, base_scan, base_scan_marking, ground_object_cloud. We suffered from fantom obstacles when navigating. When removing the ground_object_cloud source the fantom disapeared. What is this source for ? By the way, what is base_scan_marking for ? Guido |

I create my info manager like follows : webcam is my camera name. Though, when I start the programme and ask for a "rosservice list" I only get : with no prefix. What am I missing ? |
| 2014-04-20 06:48:26 -0600 | marked best answer | From structure to message Hi everybody, Does someone has ideas about how to directly send a C structure over topics/services/actions ? Currently I read some data from a file and end up with this data in a structure S, then I copy the data in S into a ROS msg data structure ROS_S (which is identical to S). This copy-past step bothers me and I would like to know if someone has a simple solution about this. Guido |
| 2014-04-20 06:48:20 -0600 | marked best answer | openni detecting device only in debug mode Hi all, I'm trying to run the openni_node.launch file on a PR2 with ubuntu lucid and diamondback. When starting the launch file with "debug=true" the kinect is detected correctly and I can visualize its output in rviz. However when starting the .launch with "debug=false", the node can't find the device. The main difference with debug is that it launchs the node on a separate xterm. As far as I have seen, no environement variable is different in the xterm. Someone has any idea ? Guido |

| 2014-04-20 06:48:09 -0600 | marked best answer | Why roscore can' find the good IP adress ? Hi all, My computer has two IPv4 adresses (one for the wired lan, one for the wifi). The computer name is gilgamesh. Its name on the wired lan is gilgamesh too. But its name through wifi is gilgamesh-wifi. When I start roscore, with wifi on, it complains about not being able to ping gilgamesh (While it should try to ping gilgamesh-wifi). How to specify the name of the host computer when launching roscore ? (or any ros server) |
| 2014-04-20 06:48:02 -0600 | marked best answer | Is there a way to follow a trajectory with no collision detection ? Hi all, Is there a way, in ROS, to do a simple trajectory following with no costmap and no collision detection ? The trajectory is specified in terms of (x,y) waypoints. I can't figure out how to twick the navigation stack in order to do this, and I would like to avoid setting the objects perception distance (obstacle range) to 0. Thanks for your help, Guido |

However, i don't know how to add the objects to the database. The API documentation of household_objects_database mention a PLYModelLoader class, but i'm unable to find it in my ROS files.

However the (sound_play node + say.py script) gives a deep and slow voice hardly understandable. I changed voices in festival, but sound_play doesn't take it into account. How to make sound_play use the voice set as default in festival ? Guido |
| 2014-04-20 06:47:41 -0600 | marked best answer | why pr2-controllers use a shared pointer + realtimebox ? Hi all, As I further explore controllers, I notice that shared access is made possible by a realtimebox containing a shared pointer. If I understand correctly, the realtimebox uses a mutex for thread safety. However the shared pointer, too, offers multiple access protection. This seems redundant to me. Maybe I'm missing something ? Why is it done this way ? |

| 2014-04-20 06:47:35 -0600 | marked best answer | Why realtime loop could die ? Hi all, I'm facing a strange problem. While running a custom controller for the whole pr2 joints, the realtime-loop2 die. It happens randomly when a trajectory is sent to the controller. Sometimes at the first trajectory, some other times after the Nth trajectory. After the realtime loop die, the whole robot die. The robot is started with the command roslaunch /etc/ros/robot.launch (and not sudo robot start, i don't know if this makes a difference). He are some logs. Realtime-loop2: |
