Package Summary

Visualization launchers and helpers for Ridgeback.

Overview

This package provides launchers and rviz configurations to assist with visualizing real or simulated Ridgeback from a desktop environment. For help getting your desktop environment set up to use with Ridgeback, see the Ridgeback homepage.

Usage

To view the Ridgeback model in isolation, disconnected from a real or simulated robot, use the following launcher:

roslaunch ridgeback_viz view_model.launch

To visualize a real or simulated Ridgeback, launch:

roslaunch ridgeback_viz view_robot.launch

Configurations

If you'd like to bring up a specific rviz configuration, you can add an arg to the view_robot launcher, for example:

roslaunch ridgeback_viz view_robot.launch config:=navigation

The configurations available are:

robot (default)

The default configuration includes the RobotModel plugin, and displays Ridgeback in the odom frame, which will move the model about in rviz as you drive around.

navigation

This configuration also displays Ridgeback in the odom frame and displays all the visualization information that local navigation provides including global plan, trajectory and local costmap. The desired navigation Pose for the robot to achieve can be set using 2D Nav Goal.

gmapping

Gmapping configuration displays Ridgeback in the map frame. It includes InteractiveMarker plugin so you can drive the robot around to build the map. It also includes Map plugin to visualize the map being constructed.

localization

This configuration also displays Ridgeback in the map frame and includes PoseArray plugin which display the localization system's uncertainty about the robot's pose. It also includes visualization information of the known map, global costmap, trajectory associated with the velocity commands and global plan. The localization system can be initialized by setting the pose of the robot in the known map using 2D Pose Estimate.
