<> <> == About == The `robot_pose_publisher` package contains a ROS node that will publish the transform between the `/base_link` frame and the `/map` frame as a pose message. This information is useful if you are interested in the robots position but do not want to stream the entire TF tree to get this information. An example use case is for web widgets. == Nodes == {{{ #!clearsilver CS/NodeAPI node.0 { name = robot_pose_publisher desc = `robot_pose_publisher` publishes the transform between the `/base_link` frame and the `/map` frame. pub { 0.name = robot_pose 0.type = geometry_msgs/Pose 0.desc = The current transform between the `/base_link` frame and the `/map` frame as a pose message. } } }}} == Installation == {{{#!wiki version fuerte <> }}} {{{#!wiki version groovy <> }}} {{{#!wiki version indigo <> }}} {{{#!wiki version jade <> }}} === Startup === To run the node, ensure that a valid transform exists between the `/base_link` frame and the `/map` frame (e.g., from a navigation node), and run the following: {{{ rosrun robot_pose_publisher robot_pose_publisher }}} == Support == Please send bug reports to the [[https://github.com/WPI-RAIL/robot_pose_publisher/issues|GitHub Issue Tracker]].
