Revision history [back]

you can use the teb_local_planner package and set the parameters max_vel_theta: 0 and min_vel_theta: 0. In that case, the planner generates only translations. You need to set the yaw_goal_tolerance: 6.28 as well in order to prevent that the planner desperately tries to rotate towards the final orientation.
