Building error: neo_localization/Convert.h:14:10: fatal error: tf2_geometry_msgs/tf2_geometry_msgs.hpp: No such file

Hello,

Details:

• Ubuntu 20.04, ROS Galactic

• I wanted to build locally your package and I got this error:

ljaniec@ljaniec-PC:~/ros2_ws$ colcon build --symlink-install --packages-select neo_localization2

I have tf2 packages installed through apt, I tried to build the whole geometry2 metapackage in the same workspace too, but it didn't help.

Please checkout to the Galactic branch and retry! Thanks!

I believe this confusion could have happened due to lack of documentation!

[ljaniec]

The package was built correctly after checkout to Galactic branch, but the end result which I wanted to achieve (starting multi-robot simulation with Nav2) wasn't possible - the simulation hanged there. Where should I issue logs and a description of these new problems? Is there any README for setting up your ROS2 multi-AMR Nav2 simulation?

Is there any README for setting up your ROS2 multi-AMR Nav2 simulation?

Unfortunately, the navigation stack for the multi-AMR Nav2 simulation is not available at the moment. It is still in a developmental phase. You need to follow this branch for further updates.

In case if there is any feature, that you would like to see in neo_simulation2, apart from the multi-robot navigation, please feel to open an issue in that repository.

May I know is there any specific use-case you are targeting?

[ljaniec]

Thank you, I will observe any details on mentioned branch.

I am developing a hybrid controllers for multiple mobile robot systems, based on two layers of control, discrete and continuous-time. Until now my simulations were really simplified, but the end goal is to have real industrial robots instead of simulated agent under control. Similar research/software development is conducted there: https://github.com/open-rmf/rmf_ros2

My specific use-case is a group of AMRs on the known map, receiving orders from centralized controller with optimized, simultaneous motion without collision and deadlocks (correct-by-build type of formal logic control). I hoped to use your project at the base for a simulated environment and a pair of AMRs to initial tests of implemented solution.

Hi @ljaniec

If you're still facing issue of building neo_localization2 onto ROS2 foxy, you may reference to the solution i found. Solution for Compiling onto ROS2 Foxy

Best, Samuel

Thanks! Feel free to reopen, if you guys have any issues!
