Down facing Hokuyo_ROS

Post by Arisha »

Hello,
I want to generate a map of my scene in ROS using hector_slam. I'm running into a problem, if I keep the laser scan front facing the map produced is accurate but, if I turn the scan downward the results are wrong.

Can anybody tell me if this problem is connected with the Hokuyo sensor?

Hello,

What do you mean with the results are wrong? Is the sensor then producing noise, not working anymore, or detecting some invisible item? In the latter case, make sure to check if you have some hidden objects or similar.

Cheers
