Is it posible to use move_base for an omnidirectional robots? I am trying to use move_base package to control the omni-d

Thank you for the reply. I used rf2o_laser_odometry for create odometry. But there is a small issue. The pose array and

Is there any possibility to use laser scan data to create odomerty? Thank you for the reply.

I am developing an Omnidirectional robot's controlling system using ROS kinetic. And I am trying to use AMCL to localize the robot on a saved map. Also I don't use any odom data. I use laser scan data only. So in my AMCL launch file I have used base_link as odom frame. My problem is, tf values between map and base_link does not update when the robot is moving on gazebo. Also the pose array does not converge. This is my AMCL launch file.

Why AMCL not update the tf values between map and base_link? I am developing an Omnidirectional robot's controlling syst
