Hi Enea Scioni, Thanks for so detailed answer: I followed your instruction and just experimented again, following are the findings: RosAria: First RosAria is a node which enables us to move Real Robot (poineer P3DX), It subscribes a topic /cmd_vel with geometry_msgs/Twist message. some code from RosAria: { pos = robot->getPose(); tf::poseTFToMsg(tf::Pose(tf::Quaternion(pos.getTh()*M_PI/180, 0, 0), tf::Vector3(pos.getX(), pos.getY(), 0)), position.pose.pose); position.twist.twist.linear.x = robot->getVel(); position.twist.twist.angular.z = robot->getRotVel()*M_PI/180; position.header.frame_id = "odom"; position.header.stamp = ros::Time::now(); pose_pub.publish(position); ROS_INFO("rcv: %f %f %f p.x: %f p.y: %f", position.header.stamp.toSec(), (double) position.twist.twist.linear.x, (double) position.twist.twist.angular.z, (double) pos.getX(), (double) pos.getY()); ros::Duration(1e-3).sleep(); tf::Quaternion laserQ; laserQ.setRPY(0.0, 0.0, pos.getTh()); tf::Transform txLaser = tf::Transform(laserQ,tf::Point(0.05, 0.0, 0.15)); tf.sendTransform(tf::StampedTransform(txLaser, ros::Time::now(), "base_link", "laser"));//"base_laser_link")); tf::Transform txIdentity(tf::createIdentityQuaternion(), tf::Point(0.0, 0.0, 0.0)); tf.sendTransform(tf::StampedTransform(txIdentity, ros::Time::now(), "base_footprint", "base_link")); tf::Quaternion odomQ; tf::quaternionMsgToTF(position.pose.pose.orientation, odomQ); tf::Transform txOdom(odomQ, tf::Point((double) pos.getX()/1000.0, (double) pos.getY()/1000.0, pos.getTh()/*0.0*/)); tf.sendTransform(tf::StampedTransform(txOdom, ros::Time::now() ,"odom", "base_footprint")); clockMsg.clock = ros::Time::now(); clock_pub.publish(clockMsg); } I run this node using [$rosrun ROSARIA RosAria _port:=/dev/ttyUSB0] then this node starts and subscribes the topic /cmd_vel. Then I run my own made node [$rosrun ROSARIA rob_key] which publishes geometry_msgs/Twist taking commands by arrow keys of keyboard. Frames: I checked frames by [$rosrun tf view_frames], the frame's sequence is correct and quite according to how you said, i.e. with names and sequence : /map->/odom->/base_footprint->base_link->/laser shown in frames.pdf. map->odom : Broadcaster: /amcl , Average rate: 4.890 Hz, Most recent transform: 0.155 sec old, Buffer length: 4.908 sec odom->base_footprnt:Broadcaster:/RosAria,Average rate:10.204 Hz,Most recent transform: 0.063 sec old,Buffer length: 4.900 sec base_footprnt->base_link:same as above for odom->base_footprint base_link->laser:same as above for base_footprint-> base_link Sequence of the nodes I run: 1.$roscore 2.$rosrun ROSARIA RosAria _port:=/dev/ttyUSB0 3.$rosrun sicktoolbox_wrapper sicklms _port:=/dev/ttyUSB1 _baud:=38400 get message DataStream Received. 4.$roslaunch amcl_diff.launch from amcl/axamples> directory. get message [ WARN] [1283264052.917100260]: Request for map failed; trying again...
