2020-10-24 13:00:24 -0500 marked best answer Make global plan that includes obstacles from local costmap

Hi,

I have a navigation setup for a mobile robot. Local and global costmaps are running and navigation is working, however I would like to have the global planner replan when it sees obstacles in the local costmap. There are situations where it should come up with a new global plan because a pathway is blocked, but now the robot just stops. How can I make the global planner take local costmap obstacles into account if a pathway is blocked in order to generate a new global path?

2020-10-24 13:00:04 -0500 answered a question Make global plan that includes obstacles from local costmap

The culprit in my case was the plugins defined in the local and global costmap yaml-files. After removing those plugins

Hi. It is probably because you have a static transform between the map and odom, so it doesn't change: <node pkg="tf"

2015-06-22 00:36:52 -0500 marked best answer hector_slam sporadic update error of /odom

Hi

We use a non-holonomic wheeled platform with two SICK s300 laser scanners, and have recently tried to apply hector_slam instead of gmapping because gmapping uses almost 100% cpu and hector_slam uses close to 0%. We run Fuerte and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. The software is running on one computer on the platform.

However, we have one problem with hector_slam and that is sporadic updates of the odometry.

We have made a launch file with the following

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<launch>
  <node pkg="hector_mapping" type="hector_mapping" name="hector_mapping" output="screen">
        <!-- Frame names -->
        <param name="map_frame" value="/map" />
        <param name="base_frame" value="/base_link" />
        <param name="odom_frame" value"/odom" />
        <param name="scan_topic" value="/scan_unified/scan"/>
  </node>
        <!-- Tf use -->
        <param name="pub_map_odom_transform" value="true"/>
</launch>

When we run the mapping the map updates and builds fine in rviz when moving linearly, but when we start to rotate the robot the scans and map do not align anymore. When looking at the odometry in rviz, it continuously goes between an error and OK. The error we receive is

For frame [odom]: No transform to fixed frame [/map]. TF error: [unable to lookup transform, cache is empty, when looking up transform from frame [/odom] to frame [/map]]

Anyone got an idea to why we receive this sporadic error of the odometry, it shifts between the error and OK every second, sometimes faster, sometimes slower?

2015-01-22 15:53:20 -0500 asked a question Make gazebo camera ignore certain objects

I have a robot model with a camera in gazebo. The camera is observing the world but some objects I would like the camera to ignore so they are not captured in the image output. Is it possible to have a gazebo camera ignore certain objects e.g. perceive them as transparent or black e.g. by giving the objects a specific prefix in their name or something else?
