Hi Augusto,
Could you please ask this on answers.ros.org.. This is a nice specific question with one or more answers which another person could learn from.
Thanks,
Tully
Hi everybody, I have a question about frames , transforms and TF. I would like to extend the simples Turtle tf tutorials (http://www.ros.org/wiki/tf/Tutorials) based on a 2D space but I'm having a lot of troubles doing it. Unfortunately I didn't find (yet) something on the mailing list or on ros-answers...I have this 3 frames:
- world_frame
- odom_frame (with a fixed transform respect to world)
- cart_frame (I move this frame with the odometry data
Here is the code:static tf::TransformBroadcaster br;
static tf::TransformListener tf_;and thiswhile (ros::ok()){
transform.setOrigin(tf::Vector3(3,3,0));
transform.setRotation(tf::createQuaternionFromRPY(0.0,0.0,0.0));
br.sendTransform(tf::StampedTransform(transform, ros::Time::now(), "/world", "/odom"));
here, with updateOdom I calculate the x,y,theta position from the odometry (like the tutorial)updateOdom(1);try{transform.setOrigin(tf::Vector3(x,y,0));transform.setRotation(tf::createQuaternionFromRPY(0.0,0.0,th));br.sendTransform(tf::StampedTransform(transform, ros::Time::now(), "/odom", "/cart_frame"));} catch(tf::TransformException e){ ROS_WARN("errore transformpose (%s)", e.what()); }Now what I'm trying to do is move the cart_frame not only with the x+y+th params but with a full 6-dof transform, as if the the cart_frame was moving on a circular garage car ramp, and here starts my question: the simplest way is to add the information to the odometry, so I can call the sendtransform() directly, but what if I had a situation where the odometer always sends only 2D transforms?In the example I tried to send a transform with a small pitch at the beginning of the while (ros ok())transform.setOrigin(tf::Vector3(3,3,0));
transform.setRotation(tf::createQuaternionFromRPY(0.0,0.4,0.0));
br.sendTransform(tf::StampedTransform(transform, ros::Time::now(), "/world", "/odom"));and this is the outcome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4ktwwukCV0, not properly what I want...Ok, probably I am very tired and confused today but if someone can tell me where I'm wrong I'll be infinitely grateful =)Thank youAugusto
