Renato, I don't know about the ROS ARIA node for the pioneer, however, there is a ROS driver for the pioneer in the usc-ros-pkgs repository. The stack has tutorials for using the gmapping package with a pioneer and laser. http://www.ros.org/wiki/p2os/Tutorials/Getting%20Started%20with%20p2os On Wed, Aug 11, 2010 at 6:07 AM, Renato Samperio wrote: > Dear ROS users, > > I would like to know if somebody can help me with my problem.
