Problem with robot in rviz

Course Support URDF for Robot Modeling
1

I am in Step 2 - Building the Visual Robot Model in URDF, created the package and all the folders, the urdf file, the launch file and then started it all with roslaunch my_mira_description urdf_visualize.launch model:=’$(findmy_mira_description)/urdf/mira_simple.urdf’

However, in rviz I get errors and warnings. I went through the steps twice so I am not quite sure what I did wrong. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello @derforwarder,

It looks like an error related to the Fixed Frame set in Rviz. I can see it’s currently set to “map”. Could you try changing the Fixed Frame to “base_link”?

Best,

Stupid me, that did solve it.
