Stage doesn't show obstacles Hi everyone, I am using stage to simulate robot exploration and mapping. I have some maps t

Yes I built nav2d with that command, but I am running it on a virtual machine on a macbook air. I think I have found the problem, I changed my world file with the one in the tutorial changing only the map and it's working. Thanks for the help

Yes, I already changed the service from static_map to dynamic_map. I will add to the question the rqt_graph

Thank you, you're right! I will try nav2d

I want to explore a map in stage like in this tutorial: http://wiki.ros.org/stage/Tutorials/M... but the link to the stage_controllers doesn't work and I can't find them in another way. I tried frontier_exploration but I find it tricky to use and it often crashes. I am using kinetic and nav2d is not supported. Anyone has some ideas?

EDIT: I have successfully installed nav2d but I want to explore the map while building it, I changed the third tutorial file:`<launch>

</launch> using gmapping instead of karto. The problem is that now it keeps spinning instead of going straight and after a while it crashes.

Hi, I am new to ros and I am trying to convert a carmen log file to a bag file. I can parse the file but I don't know how to put the values of the carmen file in the bag. I think that I have to put the ODOM in the tfMessage and the ROBOTLASER1 in the laserScan type but I don't know how to map the values, can someone help?
