ros-pioneer3at, robot_localization

[daniel.jos...@gmail.com]

Trying to use robot_localization to fuse odometry and an IMU to estimate robot pose/orientation. I also posted this on ROS answers here: http://answers.ros.org/question/201751/simulating-robot_localization-on-pioneer3at-with-xsens-300-ahrs/.

Has anyone used Dereck's stack and robot_localization to make this work?

What changes were needed to make this work?

Thanks,

Daniel Chavez

That's new to me. I'm not currently using my Pioneers, but I'll gladly accept a pull request to help out others who are getting started. 

Just make a new launch file in my ros package to spin up the appropriate nodes and a .yaml file for all of the ROS parameters required for the node.

I will! As soon as I have this working. For now I am attempting to fuse /Pioneer3AT/pose with /imu/data. Eventually would like to fuse motor encoders and IMU. I will gladly send pull request to help out others as soon as I have this working.
