[ros-users] Creating map with nxtros

[Eric Perko]

Hi Bünyamin,

First, could you ask this on answers.ros.org so that it can be more easily
indexed and searched for in the future?

Second, have you tried running your gmapping with the rosparam
"use_sim_time" set to true and "rosbag play --clock"? It looks like you
might just have troubles because the timestamps in the bagfile for tf data
correspond to when you recorded the data, but post-processing in gmapping
will only be buffer tf data that has timestamps that correspond to whenever
you are running the gmapping node. This tutorial has some guidance on
running gmapping on logged data:

> Hello,
> i posted before some problems while i was trying to create a map.

> -First, to use slam algorithm u need a topic with a laser_scan msg.
> This was my first to do.
> Because nxt_robot_sensor_car is not publishing a topic with laser_scan.
> I tried to write a Node wich is subscribing the topic ultrasonic_sensor and
> then converting the data and publishing a topic named base_scan with the msg
> type laser_scan.
> The node is also turning the robot 390 degree. You can change that if u
> want.

> I attached this node if anyone wants to look in to that code.
> But before u look into that code, i am warning you, it is not good
> implementated.
> Even i dont know if its working corretly.
> So i would make me happy, if i get some feedbacks :)

> -Next i recorded base_scan and tf in a bag file.(base_scan is given by the
> node that i have programmed,the /tf topic is given by nxtros...)
> -now if i play the bag file the slam_gmapping node is givin warnings like:
