Hi, i can control omni robot on Gazebo, but i can't control on RViz. First, i launched open_base velocity\ controller.launch . Then, i launched open_base rviz.launch . The robot model are exist on Gazebo and RViz. But when i send command using rostopic pub, robot move on Gazebo but not on Rviz. i hope someone teach me how to move on RViz Thanks.

Hi there!

First and foremost, sorry for the late reply. I've had very little free time as of lately.

RViz is just a visualization tool. You shouldn't be able to control any robot in there.

´open_base velocity\ controller.launch´ contains all that is necessary to get a working robot in Gazebo. open_base rviz.launch is just to see how the robot will be rendered and is not meant to be controllable or to interact with other launch files.

Maybe it should be possible to manually move the joints in RViz but this would be just to check if the joints are configured as intended. I could check to be sure but I need to reinstall my ROS environment because I got a new computer.

Also, if you haven't done so already, I would recommend a careful read through the beginning of ROS's documentation to ensure that you know all the basic concepts.
