Good afternoon,

I am trying to move a mobile robot (MIR) declared in ROS from simulink. In order to do that i added to my project a publisher node from ROS Toolbox with node '/move_base_simple/goal', then with the Blank Message of type '/geometry_msgs/PoseStamped' i created a bus giving the coordinates that i need and "map" for the frameId. when i run the program the robot does not move, and if i type 'rostopic echo /move_base_simple/goal' on matlab i can notice that the the frameId field is empty, while the coordinates are correct, someone knows why the program can't read the frame Id? (i tried to move the MIR in ROS with the same command and it works)

Hi Dario, sorry to hear that. One possible explanation for this behavior could be that the MATLAB program is not properly subscribing to the map topic in ROS, which is crucial for the robot to receive and navigate based on the map data. Since you mentioned changing the frameId with random names without success, it indicates that the problem might lie in the connection between MATLAB and ROS rather than just a naming issue. To address this issue, you may need to ensure that your MATLAB program is effectively subscribing to the correct ROS topics, including the map topic that provides essential mapping data for navigation. Double-checking the connection setup between MATLAB and ROS, ensuring proper message passing, and verifying that the map data is being correctly transmitted to the MIR robot are crucial steps in troubleshooting this problem. Additionally, considering that ROS is running on a virtual machine on Ubuntu while MATLAB is on Windows, make sure that there are no network or firewall issues hindering the communication between these two systems. Ensuring a seamless connection between the virtual machine hosting ROS and your Windows environment is essential for successful data exchange and navigation commands. Utilize ROS debugging tools such as rostopic, rviz, or tf_echo to monitor data flow, visualize frames, and diagnose any potential communication errors.

Good morning, i am doing some researches about this problem, i noticed this:

In the first picture i am sending the command '/move_base' from ROS, and i visualize it to simulink; in this case the command runs succesfully and the robot moves, in fact i can see the command also in simulink (simulink read the frameId and the coordinates corresponding at the ROS command)

In the second image i do the opposite, so i send the command '/move_base' from simulink to ROS with the block 'publish', and i visualize the result in the ROS terminal with the command 'rostopic echo /move_base/goal'; as is shown in the following picture the frameID is not recognised (in the mean time i am reading the topic /map to see what i get, and i get the map):

i also checked the rqt_graph in ROS to see how the nodes are comunicating:

The mir_bridge and the Simulink node (/prova1_sim_27850) are comunicating as is shown, so i don't get why i can't send the frameID correctly to it.

sorry for the long message, i wanted to be as precise as i can.

Good morning,

This is che command i send from Simulink to ROS:

if i check the result with 'rostopic echo /move_base_simple/goal', both in matlab and ROS, i see the coordinates but the frameID field is empty, and the robot does not move. (i also tried without giving Header.stamp.sec and Header.stamp.nsec but the result is the same).

And yes, if i launch the command /move_base_simple/goal from ROS, with the same inputs, it works.

This is the example of the command on ROS:

Hi Dario,

In your comments, I see the screenshot you are sharing, verify that the topic you are publishing to in Simulink matches the topic subscribed to by the ROS node responsible for moving the robot. Consistency in topic names and message formats is essential for proper communication. By aligning the message structure in Simulink with the expected format in ROS and ensuring that all necessary fields, including the frameID, are correctly populated, you should be able to resolve the issue of the robot not moving when sending commands from Simulink. Remember, attention to detail in message formatting is key to seamless communication between different systems.
