[navigation stack] How to Navigate using User-defined path ?

i must implement my own planner . For Example , i use Simple Navigation Goal (From Tutorial) and Mark a lot of points in a list manually (you may need to find the x,y,4 values of quaternian - memmorized it) .

Then Make the robot check the location compared to the Points In List (Waypoints) , which one is the nearest depends on the algorithm you 've chosen .

Choose the list (depends on the goal you want to go) and execute the navigation on those points.

The Short Answer is You need to implement it by yourself with help of navigation goal.

But this would mean that the robot is going to stop at each of these waypoints, how can I make it move through these smoothly?

if you want to make robot follow the path i think that you should implement global planner which create path according to static line (maybe create a graph of point to make the robot follow like line tracking - then create path by the edges) like @al-dev mentioned below

If you want it to move smoothly and not stop at each goal, subscribe to the pose of the robot and calculate the distance to the goal. Once the distance is small (you decide how close to get), you send the next goal. That way the robot won't stop at each goal.

Note that if you want to keep it simple, you don't actually need to implement another 'planner' in the sense of building a planner plugin for move_base. What you need is a node that simply maintains a queue of goals (your waypoints) which you could provide via a topic or service, and sends them successively to move_base (see this tutorial) after each one is completed.

But the move_base necessarily requires a global planner. It is not possible to simply give goal and using /odom data the robot navigates. Or is it possible?
