Readme example -- robot does not move #124

Open gitting-around opened 2 years ago

gitting-around commented 2 years ago

Hi, I am trying to run the example in the readme, in ROSmode, with rviz, however nothing happens past that. The robot is not really moving, exploring.

I am running this on a ubuntu20.04 vm.

Am I perhaps missing a step?

Hi @gitting-around! Sorry to hear about our dear old project failing you :-(

I just tried it myself (albiet on an Ubuntu 22.04 installation), and it still seems to work here: Screencast from 2022-10-24 21:09:38.webm

As I am following the Docker-guide in the above clip, I assume you are following the Docker-guide as well, right? Can you provide some more pics of the messages in the terminal from when ROS is started in the terminal, when MAES is started and connects to ROS, and when you press play? I'm sure that would help a lot in helping you.

Edit: Yes, I know the terminal thinks it has a lot of exciting things to tell you. The most interesting stuff will perhaps be marked either [WARNING]or [ERROR] in the terminal.

Best regards, Malte

Hej Malte,

This took a while from my part. I tried again, with/without rviz, and it seems to start moving but it gets stuck. In any case, I recorded the screen so you can see what I am running, and what it ends up looking up on my side. screen recording.

Let me know if you cannot open it.

Did you try the second link? Does that work?
