Hi guys.

We are having an issue in rviz with the visualization of the robot model. As you can see in the picture we don’t have any error advise, but we cannot see the model.
By connecting a keyboard and screen to the robot, and then openning rviz, there we are able to see the robot model. However, when we try to connect the robot in another laptop by using export ROS_MASTER_URI=... and running rviz on it, we cannot see the robot model.

Do you have any idea to solve this problem?

Thanks for your attention.

Hi @daniel.arguello ,

I believe you need to set TF Prefix also as /robot. TF Prefix would the robot’s namespace.
So if your robot_description is on the topic /robot/robot_description then the namespace is /robot.

One of these 2 combinations should work for you, try and let me know.
= = = = = = = = = =
Combination 1:
Robot Description: /robot/robot_description
TF prefix: /robot
= = = = = = = = = =
Combination 2:
Robot Description: /robot_description
TF prefix: /robot
= = = = = = = = = =
