Hi, Abhy >From my understanding, you can randomly set the initial estimated position, but it will take amcl longer time to converge while robot is moving in the map. After you set a initial point, you should be able to show pose array in rviz. Or you may try the service from amcl: global_localization If you see the robot is not walking exactly on the the path generated, it is okay. Because the path is from global planner, there is a local planner going on underneath. If it fail to complete the target when it is very close, in my case, I tweak the parameters for x,y and theta tolerance in local_costmap_params.yaml. I was doing that on purpose, but you can also try it see if it helps.
