Hi, I have been searching for a ROS package for exploration in ubuntu 12.10 and I have not found one yet - see my related question
So, does anyone know about one which is compatible with ROS-groovy ? Thank you
Already posted this answer here, but it fits your question very well, so here goes:
You can try out the hector_exploration_planner package that we use with great success for exploration while participating in the RoboCup Rescue Robot League. There currently isn't an example available interacting with the navigation stack, but implementing a node that calls the service provided by the hector_exploration_node and feeds the provided goals to move_base should be straightforward.
Real world example (RoboCup Rescue 2012 final, note that the background checkerboard is on a 1m grid)
Two examples of exploration in (gazebo) simulation:
I had already seen it but I thought that it was not ported to groovy because you can find many ros-groovy-hector packpages via apt-get but not the navigation - I had to install it via source code. Will try it, thank you!
We haven't done extensive documentation of the package yet and it might still change a little bit. For those reasons it's not yet available as a .deb package. But generally, exploration works well so far for us.
