[ros-users] Navigation stack : Error : Aborting because a valid plan could not be found

Hi Eitan,

Thanks for your reply. I tried the "RVIZ with navigation stack" tutorial.
The map was displayed properly, and I also added the pose array. But I was
unable to display the polygon showing the robot footprint. RVIZ warns me
that there are no messages received in
move_base/local_costmap/robot_footprint. There are also no messages received
for move_base/local_costmap/obstacles or inflated obstacles. And indeed,
when I 'rostopic echo' robot_footprint, I get no messages. 

At this point, I went through all my files again and noticed that in
'costmap_common_params.yaml', I had written the robot footprint values in
centimeters and not in meters. I corrected this, so now the file looks like:

Costmap_common_params.yaml

obstacle_range: 2.5
raytrace_range: 3.0
footprint: [[0.275,0.325], [-0.275,0.325], [-0.275,-0.325], [0.275,-0.325]]

observation_sources: laser_scan_sensor
transform_tolerance: 2.0
laser_scan_sensor: {sensor_frame: laser, data_type: LaserScan, topic: /scan,
marking: true, clearing: true} 

inflation_radius: 0.55 

I ran the simulation again. And the errors are still the same with no
differences. So I believe that was not the problem anyway. 

When I run the Rviz with navigation goals tutorial,

I get the warning:
[ INFO] [1291168915.975023299]: Received a 384 X 832 map at 0.100000 m/pix

[ WARN] [1291168933.842753803]: The origin for the sensor at (0.10, -0.00,
0.00) is out of map bounds. So, the costmap cannot raytrace for it.

0.00) is out of map bounds. So, the costmap cannot raytrace for it.

At this point, roswtf gives me:

I will check localization without navigation and post my results.

Thanks for your help!
