“I DID SOURCE…(just dint paste that line here cuz tried running multiple times etc etc…)”

the simulation works fine, the old real turtlebot worked, but the fastbot just does not move via the code, just moves from the joystick fine but my code isnt working on it, these rviz errors tell me somethings wrong with the drivers maybe?

Please help, already my presentation was canceled once earlier when the older bot gave out, then this has had different index range, so i had to make a lot of changes and think about them so now this has happened.

thanks

Thank you .I have the same problem.

Hi @aj154, could you share the contents of main_turtlebot3_lab.launch.xml?

aj154 · November 3, 2025, 9:45am

sure, here ya go:

<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<launch>

  <!-- Modified version of main_turtlebot3_lab.launch.xml from turtlebot3_gazebo package -->

  <!-- Launches Robot State Publisher -->
  <include file="$(find-pkg-share turtlebot3_realrobot)/launch/robot_state_publisher.launch.py"/>

  <!-- Launch RViz with pre-configured file -->
  <include file="$(find-pkg-share turtlebot3_realrobot)/launch/rviz.launch.py"/>

</launch>

This launch file does not run any programs that move the robot. It launches a robot state publisher and rviz.

Why are you launching this? Do you expect the robot to move with this launch file? Because it won’t.

robot state publisher just publishes robot information (which you don’t need on the real robot since it’s being published already)

rviz does nothing. It’s just a visualization program. The error you are seeing is because it can’t find the description files for this robot, but it doesn’t affect the functionality of the robot. We are actively working on updating these projects for the new robot

Coming in a little hot there I think , I am not doing anything from my side, these are the commands provided in the Rosject Notebook that I ran.

Gotcha, the course i am on is “C++ basics for robotics”…, the older real robot worked, the simulation works, this one just does not move, as you say hopefully it will be fixed soon… Thanks.

We are looking into this. Thanks for clarifying.
