Hello,

I try to make my robot navigate through some narrow passways (70cm) (robot 40cm wide), but no matter what paramaters i change the robot doesnt respect the inflation and doesnt correct it's course when near walls

My odom and amcl although not perfect, i think are pretty good odom (test by setting the decay time for the laser e.q 20) ideally the scans should align

local costmap

P.S with dwa local planner which is the defacto the robot rotates so i use Trajectory planner, maybe by fixing this problem i can use dwa after P.S also the local costmap i can visualize only with map scheme or raw but no costmap? weird ,i think i can see the inflation layer of new obstacles

Any help to increase the robustness of move base to navigate in tight corridors welcome

Thanks so much for your time!!

hm, it needs 5 points per picture to upload pictures your upvote gave me 1 point, i can change my profile pic with 1 point though P. is it a big problem they way it is now? Thank you though!!

It gives you 10 points but for some reason my upvote didn't go through. So, I upvoted again and now you have enough to attach the images (it's only 10 points total to attach images). We like to keep questions self-contained, and by attaching your images directly to the question your question becomes self-contained. Otherwise, the images can disappear if/when the external site goes down

Can you post a screenshot of your local costmap as well?

Hi, i posted the local costmap after some fiddling i found some good behaviour,

inflation radius:0.27 cost_scaling_factor:1.5 on the global planner orientation_mode:3 acc_lim_x and th : 0.5, sim time =1 , pdist:0.85 gdist:1.0 , occdist:0.2

I tested teb_local_planner and dwa_local_planner

But Trajectory planner worked well for me in the narrow environments (with dwa=false), Because it has a recovery behaviour that moves your robot sligthly back, instead of clearing costmap and rotating in place and after telling you infissible trajectory, Dwa worked for me too but i couldnt make it to have this recovery (maybe plugin on the global planner??) With teb i had some problems
