I need to handle cart missions soon'ish. I've found this library that might help with the REST API interaction: * https://github.com/osrf/mir100-client Currently I'm thinking about whether and how this should...

I have the same issue currently. My current hypothesis is that the version of cartographer_ros that I am using is so old (the one distributed via the ros package repository),...

After doing some more research I found a configuration where it would publish the transforms. I let my odometry source broadcast the odometry transform (instead of just providing the topic)...

> i would like to know how this is gonna solve your situation. you want to identify the node based on IP address? probably i am not really sure about...

I think this is not so straight-forward, as you are dealing with some sort of histogram here (non-zero width bins), instead of actual rays. Obviously you could just add one...

I added a [PR](https://github.com/ros-perception/pointcloud_to_laserscan/pull/15) to address this issue.

The way I addressed this in my [PR](https://github.com/ros-perception/pointcloud_to_laserscan/pull/15), is by maintaining separately the valid angle range (currently with an exclusive upper bound: `[angle_lower_bound, angle_upper_bound)`) and the ray angles that belong...

In practice it's not equivalent. Currently the relation is more like this: scan->angle_max >= scan->angle_min + (scan->ranges.size()-1)*scan->angle_increment Therefore open_karto currently produces errors like [this](https://answers.ros.org/question/220765) when it's used with laser scans...

I've stumbled accross an approach to this here: https://github.com/westpoint-robotics/usma_xsens/blob/master/nodes/mtnode_new.py#L474 Besides that, it seems, you can set the other covariances via rosparam: https://github.com/ethz-asl/ethzasl_xsens_driver/blob/master/nodes/mtnode.py#L96 For a start, I'd suggest to add a...

I know :) I just grew up used to big projects that somehow manage to achieve this (numpy, scipy, matplotlib, scikit-learn, django etc), in blissful ignorance of how much effort...
