Thanks for the response Eitan - I've created a map, and am trying to get an erratic to navigate in said map using nav_view. I set up the robot according the the nav robot setup tutorial, and when I run nav view I can see the map and set the robot's initial pose, but trying to set the goal doesn't seem to do anything. I get a printout from nav view saying "setting goal: Position(...)" but that's all. -Dan On 3/30/10 4:31 PM, Eitan Marder-Eppstein wrote: > Dan, > > The wavefront package has fallen into a bit of disrepair as we favor > our move_base package for autonomous navigation.

If you want to use private names with the NodeHandle interface, construct a NodeHandle using a private name as its namespace. e.g. ros::NodeHandle nh("~"); nh.getParam("my_private_name"); (name = [~dist_eps]) > /home/robotics/ros/ros/bin/rosrun: line 35: 15562 Aborted $exepath "$@" > > Granted, I don't know what the right way to use wavefront since > the documentation is a bit spotty. > > Any ideas would be appreciated. > > Thanks, > -Dan > > _______________________________________________ > ros-users mailing list > ros-users@code.ros.org > https://code.ros.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-users > > > > _______________________________________________ > ros-users mailing list > ros-users@code.ros.org > https://code.ros.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-users >
