How to set the initial robot pose in ROS2 Navigation | ROS2 Developers Open Class #146

For a correct Navigation pipeline, it is very important that your robot is properly localized in the map and that its initial pose is correct. In Nav2, there exist different ways in which you can set the initial pose of your robot. In this Open Class, we will explore some of these methods.

00:00 Intro & Initial Setup
11:35 Localization in ROS2 (AMCL)
12:55 Launch Localization
16:30 Manually provide the initial localization (Rviz2 & 2D pose estimate)
25:10 Set the initial pose of the robot from the config file
41:50 Set the initial pose of the robot from the command line
48:24 Set the initial location of the robot programmatically
