Is it possible to use navigation stack for local navigation only?
Hello
Im a currently involved in making a skid steered robot - which has the aim to drive through multiple rows of corn (there will be no obstacles blocking any rows at any time).
The robot is using a Hokuyo Urg laser scanner for obstacle identification.
I have been looking through the navigation stack package and it seems like this package offers a lot more than I really need. I think I can cut my needs down to the following:
1) Get sensor data 2) Process sensor data in order to identify obstacles 3) Calculate optimal direction and speed based on identified obstacles 4) Calculate wheel velocities in order to obtain 3) 5) Calculate and send PWM signal to motors in order to optain 4)
Is it possible to "limit" navigation stack to do this, or will I be better of with a different approach?
