About
The robot_pose_publisher package contains a ROS node that will publish the transform between the /base_link frame and the /map frame as a pose message. This information is useful if you are interested in the robots position but do not want to stream the entire TF tree to get this information. An example use case is for web widgets.
Nodes
robot_pose_publisher
robot_pose_publisher publishes the transform between the /base_link frame and the /map frame.Published Topics
robot_pose (geometry_msgs/Pose)- The current transform between the /base_link frame and the /map frame as a pose message.
