I have connected my jackal robot to the wifi network and I am able to ssh to the jackal in terminal. However, when I run roslaunch jackal_viz view_robot.launch on my laptop the RobotModel gives an error status saying no transform from [base_link] to [odom]. However when I run rostopic list on the jackal there is the topic /tf so I am not sure where I am going wrong.

how are you running jackal_viz on your laptop? I am assuming you have followed these instructions to source your window jackal_network

Yes I have followed those instructions, and I have figured out the problem now. In my remote-jackal.sh file I had got the hostname of my particular jackal wrong. I have fixed it and it is working as expected now

It's better to use static ip's so that when you reconnect you don't get a new ip and don't have to change that into .sh or hosts file.

I have done that now and it seems to be working smoothly. Thanks for the help!
