ros中坐标系管理系统

首先安装小海龟实例的功能包ros-melodic-turtle-tf

 qqtsj  ~  sudo apt install ros-melodic-turtle-tf
[sudo] qqtsj 的密码：
正在读取软件包列表... 完成
正在分析软件包的依赖关系树

ros-melodic-turtle-tf 已经是最新版 (0.2.2-0bionic.20191008.205941)。
ros-melodic-turtle-tf 已设置为手动安装。
升级了 0 个软件包，新安装了 0 个软件包，要卸载 0 个软件包，有 111 个软件包未被升级。

我的ros系统已经安装好了

然后在启动launch文件，这个launch文件相当于一个脚本，可以一次性启动很多节点

 qqtsj  ~  roslaunch turtle_tf turtle_tf_demo.launch

小海龟跟随实验，有两只小海龟turtle1和turtle2,然后我们控制小海龟turtle1,通过turtle-tf功能包里面的坐标变换去实现小海龟turtle2的位置跟随，虽然角度和方向不一样，但是实现了坐标的跟随。

接下来介绍一下跟随的原理，以及一个小工具。

运行$ rosrun tf view_frames  他会先监听５秒钟的时间，然后会生成一个frames.pdf文件

view_frames是tf功能包里面的一个小工具，可以直接可视化看到整个系统中tf之间的关系。

 qqtsj  ~  rosrun tf view_frames
Listening to /tf for 5.0 seconds

这是当前系统中tf之间的关系， 在当前的两只小海龟的仿真器中有三个坐标系 ，其中word坐标系是全局坐标系，两个小海龟是两个坐标系。

turtle1和turtle2两个坐标系不断的重合到一起，他们相对与word坐标系是不断变化的。

另外还有一个工具更加清楚的观察坐标系之间的关系　tf_echo   (可以直接查询坐标系之间的关系）

 qqtsj  ~  rosrun tf tf_echo turtle1 turtle2

通过控制小海龟，会观察到数据在不断地变化。
