Hi,

I am trying to create a nav_msgs/Odometry publisher, to be used by the robot_pose_ekf  node.  My robot only give me 3 numbers: x,y and theta while the nav_msgs/Odometry message needs covariance and many other data.

My question is what variables correspond to the covariance matrices in nav_msgs/Odometry? how should I go about calculating the matrices from what I have. Any pointer to more reading materials would be appreciated.

Thanks,

-Andy
