move_basic

Overview

This package contains a node that performs very basic navigation. The path planning consists of rotating in place to face the goal and then driving straight toward it. It is designed to provide the same interfaces as move_base. If lidar or sonar sensors are present, it will attemp to stop to avoid a collision with obstacles.

The move_basic package has been tested under ROS Kinetic and Melodic on respectively Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04. This is a research code, expect that it changes often and any fitness for a particular purpose is disclaimed.

Installation

First you must install ROS (Robot Operating System), see install ROS for more details.

Instalation from Packages

The package can be installed:

sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-move-basic

Building from Source

To build from source, clone the latest version from this repository into your catkin workspace and compile the package using

cd catkin_workspace/src
git clone https://github.com/UbiquityRobotics/move_basic.git
cd ../
rosdep install --from-paths . --ignore-src
catkin build
source devel/setup.bash

Usage

To run, give the following command:

rosrun move_basic move_basic

Nodes
