How can I find the base_frame for our robot? Are the launch-file suppose to save a map-file aswell?

cazevedo commented 5 years ago

You can use tf tree to visualize the frames of your robot and therefore understand which one is the base_frame. However the frame used is almost always the base_link. Gmapping creates a map and publishes it to the/map topic. You should use the map_server package to save this map. You just need to run, since it will automaticaly subscribe to the /map topic: rosrun map_server map_saver
