Nav2 failing to work with the Turtlebot4 demo

[Jason0865]

I'm trying to get the turtlebot4 demo working with nav2 and explore_lite. However when setting the nav2 goal in rviz, there seems to be no movement in the robot? It spins and backs up once in a while (now that I think about it it's a similar behavior to stuck/collision recovery?).

I am using ROS2 Jazzy with Ubuntu 24.04

On rtabmap's terminal:

Snippet of spin logs:

There are also constant warnings about polling rate, I assume it is irrelevant but in case it is:

[controller_server-1] [WARN] [1747823022.053425176] [controller_server]: Control loop missed its desired rate of 20.0000 Hz. Current loop rate is 16.6667 Hz.

Could be related to the local costmap, can you visualize the local costmap in rviz? If there is nothing, the controller may reject navigating because it cannot see anything.
