robot_localization Ouputs NaNs when IMU/Odom messages not NaNing, works in RobotPoseEKF

I’d have to see a bag to be sure, but your IMU covariance matrices are definitely ill-conditioned. Try to invert a 3x3 matrix where all the values are the same: https://m.matrix.reshish.com/inverse.p …

Fusing non-continuous global pose data

I can answer more definitively if you provide the information I requested in the comment above, but I can probably guess what's wrong anyway. You have two_d_mode enabled, which means you need to provi …

Several subscriptions pointing to one callback

Ah, I wasn't watching rosbag. It was telling me that a topic that I thought was one type was actually another. It works now. Thanks! Originally posted by Tom Moore with karma: 13689 on 2013-08-01 Th …

Is it possible to use packages dedicated to other ROS distribution?

I believe ardrone_autonomy has already been converted to a catkin package, and has been released for ROS Indigo. Just enter sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-ardrone-autonomy into a terminal. …

What is the difference between TransformStamped and PoseStamped

The only real difference between them is that TransformStamped has a child_frame_id field, and PoseStamped doesn't. This implies that the former specifies a transform from the header's frame_id to ch …

Which frame_id do I usually specify for the NavSatFix header?

This came up recently in a drivers sig discussion. The question I asked was that if sensor is measuring pose data in some world-referenced frame, but is mounted on the robot with some static offset ( …

Odometry jumping IMU/GPS fusion robot_localization

You need a velocity reference. r_l is not good at working with only pose + acceleration data. It's going to be integrating the acceleration from the IMU and causing the velocity estimate to grow very …

What does the Fixed Frame mean in rviz?

It's the tf frame that all positions/measurements that you see are relative to. For example, let's say you have a robot that has two frames, odom (a world-fixed frame) and base_link (the body frame o …
