Revision history [back]

I don't think the move_base node has a topic that is published by default when it is stuck, but it does execute recovery behaviors when it is stuck: http://wiki.ros.org/move_base . You could probably write a recovery behavior that either publishes to a topic, or just does the thing you're trying to do when your robot gets stuck.
