Hello,
The tutorial for Navigation Stack states, since the Global Planner assumes circular robots, it produces waypoints that are optimistic for the actual robot footprint, and therefore the generated path may be infeasible to follow.
I was wondering if it is still the case if we consider the circumscribed circle of the robot's footprint. In this case, is it not even more conservative?
Thanks.
If you pass in the circumscribed circle as the inner radius it will be conservative, i.e. plans should be feasible. On the other hand you might loose plans that would work, i.e. it's incomplete.
All this relates to global planners such as NavFn. There are global planners that plan actual trajectories in the configurations space and thus are correct (but usually slower).
1. yes, 2. One example that can do that: http://wiki.ros.org/sbpl
