What it does
- Reads nav_msgs/Odometry messages from a configurable topic and generates the matching tf transform.
- Can override the parent and child frame ids, or keep the names from the odom message.
- Can publish the transform in the inverse direction, from base_link to the odom frame.
- By default stamps the transform with the odom message timestamp; can instead use the current time.
- The older use_original_timestamp parameter is deprecated and makes the node raise an error if set.
