Navigation Chassis Troubleshooting and Delivery Acceptance

Use a repeatable checklist for power, TF, odometry, LiDAR, SLAM and Nav2 before delivery.

Goal

Use a repeatable checklist for power, TF, odometry, LiDAR, SLAM and Nav2 before delivery.

Procedure

  1. Check power rails and thermal behaviour.
  2. Validate the TF tree and timestamps.
  3. Test encoder odometry and /scan.
  4. Build a map and send a Nav2 goal.

Verification

Record the command output, confirm the expected ROS 2 topic or behaviour, and resolve power, TF and device-permission errors before continuing.
