Hello Eric, Thank you for your answer. 1. I am actually using gmapping to make the map->odom transform, I have it in a separate launch file I didn't include. The reason I used gmapping to make this transform is that I couldn't make it work with amcl. Perhaps the problem lays there. Could you tell me if this transform has to necessarily be executed by amcl? My odom source is RosAria. I also wanted to know if the transform tree I am looking forward to is actually useful for the execution of the navigation stack: map->odom->base_link->base_scan. I am a little bit confused because in amcl node's code I understood that the attempted transform was odom->map and no map->odom. 2. I have already set /map as my fixed frame and the particle cloud isn't displayed. In fact, the particle cloud never appears, even when I teleoperate the robot with my keyboard. Thank you very much for your help.
