Hi, What about creating a virtual goto point in front of the robot and at a certain distance from the wall? Then implementing a simple follower to reach that point, that is always being pushed forward. Or as suggested by @ahendrix, just implementing a simple control loop to maintain a distance from the wall sending direct velocity commands to your base.
