robot_pose_ekf does not publish anything

Question

I am trying to use robot_pose_ekf with imu data but it does not produce any output .

output of :rostopic hz /robot_pose_ekf/odom

subscribed to [/robot_pose_ekf/odom]

launch file :

< launch> < node pkg="robot_pose_ekf" type="robot_pose_ekf" name="robot_pose_ekf" output="screen">
<param name="output_frame" value="odom"/>
< param name="freq" value="30.0"/>
<param name="sensor_timeout" value="1.0"/>
<param name="publish_tf" value="true"/>
< param name="odom_used" value="false"/>

< param name="imu_used" value="true"/>
< param name="vo_used" value="false"/>

output of : rostopic hz /imu_data

Are you solve this problem?

Answer 1

The robot pose ekf will not start when it only receives imu messages; it also expects messages on either the visual odometry message or the odometry message.
