I launched amcl with turtlebot2, but turtlebot2 doesn't move. I have installed ROS hydro on my PC. When I launched amcl on groovy, my turtlebot2 moved correctly. I checked some topic with rostopic echo command.

/navigation_velocity_smoother/raw_cmd_vel and /cmd_vel_mux/input/navi don't respond.

/move_base_simple/goal outputs values.

/mobile_base/commands/velocity outputs values when I touched bumper sensor.

I launched a following command.

  • roslaunch turtlebot_bringup minimal.launch (on turtlebot PC)
  • ssh turtlebot@turtlebot(on workstation)
  • roslaunch turtlebot_navigation amcl_demo.launch map_file:=/tmp/my_map.yaml(on workstation set to point to turtlebot PC)
  • roslaunch turtlebot_rviz_launchers view_navigation.launch(on workstation PC)

It has a warn. [Warn] Waiting on transform from base_footprint to map to become available before running costmap, tf error:

if anybody correctly moves a turtlebot on hydro, I want you to teach me how to move. and I want any clue to solve this problem.

I can move a turtlebot2 with keyboard_teleop and ps3 joystick.

If I hit a next message on a terminal in ssh turtlebot@turtlebot, my turtlebot went straight. $rostopic pub -1 /cmd_vel_mux/input/navi geometry_msgs/Twist -- '[0.3, 0.0, 0.0]' '[0.1, 0.0, 0.0]'

As I guessed this problem parameter, I refered the following URL to repair my yaml. http://answers.ros.org/question/78196/sensor-raytrace-error-when-maps-set-to-voxel/ After that, a warning said "you must specify at least three points for the robot footprint reverting to previous footprint.

This alarm was described on costmap_2d_ros.cpp. So, I added footprint to costmap_common_param.yaml. All warnings and error was gone on the terminal, but my turtlebot2 doesn't work!! I drag a mouse after pushing 2D Nav Goal on Rviz.

I hit next command on my workstation with ssh turtlebot@turtlebot. $rostopic pub -1 /move_base_simple/goal geometry_msgs/PoseStamped '{header: {frame_id:"map"}, pose:{position: {x: 0.5, y: 0.0, z: 0.0}, orientation: {x: 0.0, y: 0.0, z: 0.0, w: 1.0}}}' My Turtlebot moved, but my problem not yet.

I guessed that this problem was network configuration. if I hit rostopic pub -r10 /hello std_msgs/String "hello" on workstation and rostopic echo /hello on Turtlebot, The message " hello" doesn't begin printed. Does anybody know how to fix it?

@Ken_in_JAPAN For the next time, better post additional information by editing your initial question instead of multiple comments (hard to read).

Many turtlebot user might miss to add IP address of workstation to /etc/hosts on turtlebot PC, because the explanation put 2.3 Configuring /etc/hosts on http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/NetworkSetup only. It is important to set it to move a turtlebot. Please check it when you have same problem.
