在理解了move_base的基础上，我们开始机器人的定位与导航。gmaping包是用来生成地图的，需要使用实际的机器人获取激光或者深度数据，所以我们先在已有的地图上进行导航与定位的仿真。
amcl是移动机器人二维环境下的概率定位系统。它实现了自适应（或kld采样）的蒙特卡罗定位方法，其中针对已有的地图使用粒子滤波器跟踪一个机器人的姿态。
一、测试
首先运行机器人节点：
roslaunch rbx1_bringup fake_turtlebot.launch
然后运行amcl节点，使用测试地图：
roslaunch rbx1_nav fake_amcl.launch map:=test_map.yaml
可以看一下fake_amcl.launch这个文件的内容：
<node pkg="tf" type="static_transform_publisher" name="odom_map_broadcaster"
args="0 0 0 0 0 0 /odom /map 100" />
这个lanuch文件作用是加载地图，并且调用fake_move_base.launch文件打开move_base节点并加载配置文件，最后运行amcl。
然后运行rviz：
rosrun rviz rviz -d `rospack find rbx1_nav`/nav_fuerte.vcg
这时在rvoiz中就应该显示出了地图和机器人：
现在就可以通过rviz在地图上选择目标位置了，然后就会看到机器人自动规划出一条全局路径，并且导航前进：
二、自主导航
在实际应用中，我们往往希望机器人能够自主进行定位和导航，不需要认为的干预，这样才更智能化。在这一节的测试中，我们让目标点在地图中随机生成，然后机器人自动导航到达目标。
这里运行的主要文件是：fake_nav_test.launch，让我们来看一下这个文件的内容：
这个lanuch的功能比较多：
（1） 加载机器人驱动
（2） 加载地图
（3） 启动move_base节点，并且加载配置文件
（4） 运行amcl节点
（5） 然后加载nav_test.py执行文件，进行随机导航
相当于是把我们之前实验中的多个lanuch文件合成了一个文件。
现在开始进行测试，先运行ROS：
roscore
然后我们运行一个监控的窗口，可以实时看到机器人发送的数据：
rxconsole
接着运行lanuch文件，并且在一个新的终端中打开rviz：
roslaunch rbx1_nav fake_nav_test.launch
（打开新终端）
rosrun rviz rviz -d `rospack find rbx1_nav`/nav_test_fuerte.vcg
好了，此时就看到了机器人已经放在地图当中了。然后我们点击rviz上的“2D Pose Estimate”按键，然后左键在机器人上单击，让绿色的箭头和黄色的箭头重合，机器人就开始随机选择目标导航了：
在监控窗口中，我们可以看到机器人发送的状态信息：
其中包括距离信息、状态信息、目标的编号、成功率和速度等信息。
三、导航代码分析
