Revision history [back]

Do you want some method to move the robot forward 0.5m or do you want to create a global planner (and this is just your test code)?

For the first, the easy way would be to construct a move base goal at 0.5m and specify it in the robot's frame.

For the second, did you implement the interface BaseGlobalPlanner and used that in move_base?
