Hi Folks,

When my robot is trying to avoid an obstacle, it tends to move backwards. How can I disable that option so that the robot only have forward velocity, and rotational velocity?

Thanks

I need need to disable the escape velocity, which causes the robot to move backwards when stuck.

Just went inside:

base_local_planner_params.yaml

and added this parameter:

escape_vel: 0.0
