How to programatically set the 2D pose on a map ?

asked 2011-04-09 04:28:34 -0600

How do I programatically set the the initial 2D pose estimate on a map when running acml and move_base - equivalent to the "2D pose estimate" button within Rviz ?

Just to add a little more information. You can set the inital pose of the robot by publishing to the "initialpose" topic used by AMCL and documented here: http://www.ros.org/wiki/amcl#Subscribed_Topics. This is, in fact, what RVIZ does when you use the "2D Pose Estimate" button. You can always user "rostopic echo initialpose" to see exactly what it's sending.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

We have done like below:

We used ar_pose_estimate to get pattern position from the robot and then subsribe to ar pose topic and get the robot pose.

msg_mark is the message received from ar_pose_marker

msg.header.frame_id = "/map";
msg.pose.pose.position.x = msg_mark->pose.pose.position.x;
msg.pose.pose.position.y = msg_mark->pose.pose.position.y;
msg.pose.pose.position.z = 0.0;
msg.pose.pose.orientation.w = msg_mark->pose.pose.orientation.w;

double theta;
btQuaternion quat;
quat.setRPY(0.0, 0.0, theta);

tf::quaternionTFToMsg(quat, pose.pose.pose.orientation);

msg.pose.covariance[6*0+0] = 0.5 * 0.5;

msg.pose.covariance[6*1+1] = 0.5 * 0.5;

msg.pose.covariance[6*3+3] = m_pi/12.0 * m_pi/12.0;

Regards,

Prasad
