Localization(x and y) for RPLidar A1 (with hectorslam and amcl)
Hi, i am relativly new to the whole ros and robot topic. I got a RPlidar A1 and what i want to do is to retrieve a x and y position (respectivly to the given map which i create with hector_gmapping as a yaml file). I already set up the workspace and installed the packages (navigation, hectorslam, rplidar etc). But i am struggling on how to proceed further. First of all, is it even possible to retrieve this x and y position - RPlidar A1 does not have odometry (just in case this is a must).
Can someone maybe give me some hints or tips on how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
I am stuck here too... Where did you get the Navigation file from? Thanks
Hey, just cloned it from here: https://github.com/ros-planning/navigation Then build it with catkin_make. But i still dont know how to use the amcl and how to create a correct launch file
Try using this file: https://www.fer.unizg.hr/_download/re...
It basically tells you how to do the AMCL, i am stuck on fixing the Laser frame, but every other thing works. Let me know if and when you try yours...
HEllo, I am currently facing the same problem. I am working with RPLiDAR A3 and already hace the .yaml map built with hector_slam but do not know how to proceed to get my x,y position. How did you solve this issue?
Do you have odometry information too?
i do not have odometry information
You could create a fake odometry using "Laser_scan_matcher" and then use the amcl file in the directory you cloned for localization ..
You can use the launch files in this link: https://answers.ros.org/question/3424...
hey, im now working on this again after some time and just was curious if you already got a solution (or if the provided one worked for you)
