Revision history [back]

The costmap_2d package does not support rotating costmaps.

The rolling_costmap forces the orientation of the costmap to remain stable. This makes it easier to shift the data as the window "rolls". The orientation is a lot more difficult to transform the data, and the costmap does not currently support it.
