hector exploration
I'm new in Ros, I'm trying to use Hector for navigation and exploration. My setup is a two-wheel robot with Ubuntu 18, Ros Melodic and as lidar Ydlidar ("https://github.com/YDLIDAR/ydlidar_ros"). I've searched several tutorials and looked for similar questions on this site, but I always have problems with Hector-exploration.
I have also tried to do what is described here "https://answers.ros.org/question/1125..." but when i run
<node pkg="hector_exploration_node" type="exploration_planner_node" name="hector_exploration_node" output="screen">
<rosparam file="$(find hector_exploration_node)/config/costmap.yaml" command="load" />
</node>
it returns me the following error:
[ERROR] [1591432766.846200813]: Do not call canTransform or lookupTransform with a timeout unless you are using another thread for populating data. Without a dedicated thread it will always timeout. If you have a seperate thread servicing tf messages, call setUsingDedicatedThread(true) on your Buffer instance.
this is my simple launch file.
<launch>

How can i implement Hector-exploration? or I have to change my approach? Thanks.
Got the same issue with you. Did you find a solution for the problem ?
unfortunately not yet
