Hi everyone, I can make my robot move on gazebo by posting a twist message on cmd_vel. What should I do if I want the robot to move simultaneously in rviz?

Is this not a duplicate of #q286866?

Yes, it is, sir. I just simplify the question and post it again.

@jn-chen instead of posting a duplicate question, next time just edit your question.

@jayess I am not that familiar with the using of this Q&A forum, just forgot the edit thing when I post this question. After receiving your suggestion, I'll just do so next time.

Add this to your launch file

<node name="joint_state_publisher" pkg="joint_state_publisher" type="joint_state_publisher">
        <param name="/use_gui" value="false"/>
        <rosparam param="/source_list">[/your_robot_name/joint_states]</rosparam>
      </node>

gazebo publishes the joint states to /robotname/joint_states topic and rviz listens to /joint_states topic.

source list param takes the values from /robotname/joint_states and publishes to /joint_states

I just imitate this repo and then robot can move both in rviz and gazebo simultaneously. Thank you!
