Hi, So I am new to ROS and I am facing a major headache for the past week. Specifically, I am having a problem that is actually shown here. Whenever I set the 2d pose estimate of Robot, the footprint and costmap kind of fluctuates around the map. I am using an amcl node with a static map, so whenever I give a pose estimate the particle cloud changes correctly. Due to this problem it can't estimate an accurate path to the goal node and the path fluctuates as well. My launch file codes are below. Please get me rid of this problem. Thanks!
