Description
The fake_localization package provides a single node, fake_localization, which substitutes for a localization system, providing a subset of the ROS API used by amcl. This node is most frequently used during simulation as a method to provide perfect localization in a computationally inexpensive manner.
Specifically, fake_localization converts odometry data into pose, particle cloud, and transform data of the form published by amcl.
Nodes
fake_localization
fake_localization substitutes for a localization system, providing a subset of the ROS API used by amcl.Subscribed Topics
base_pose_ground_truth (nav_msgs/Odometry)- The position of the robot as published by a simulator.
- Allows for setting the pose of fake_localization using tools like rviz or nav_view to give a custom offset from the ground truth source being published. New in 1.1.3
Published Topics
amcl_pose (geometry_msgs/PoseWithCovarianceStamped)- Just passes through the pose reported by a simulator.
Parameters
~odom_frame_id (string, default: "odom")- The name of the odometric frame of the robot.
- The x offset between the origin of the simulator coordinate frame and the map coordinate frame published by fake_localization.
- The y offset between the origin of the simulator coordinate frame and the map coordinate frame published by fake_localization.
- The yaw offset between the origin of the simulator coordinate frame and the map coordinate frame published by fake_localization.
- The frame in which to publish the global_frame_id→odom_frame_id transform over tf. New in 1.1.3
- The base frame of the robot. New in 1.1.3
Provided tf Transforms
/map → <value of odom_frame_id parameter>- Passed on from the simulator over tf.
