teb_local_planner not work

Hi,

My pc can run movebase (navfn + dwa) ,(voronoi + dwa)

But when comes to the (navfn + teb_local_planner) on the offline rviz simulation

the behavior of my virtual turtle bot is quite odd,

But I guess the root cause is lack of computational power:

The longest control cycle can reach about 300s with teb O_o

But with dwa_local_planner, my control frequency can reach 100Hz on the same static map.

And I am following the [teb tutorial]...(http://wiki.ros.org/teb_local_planner/Tutorials/Configure%20and%20run%20Robot%20Navigation)

Anyone can help?

Thanks!

Hi, a control cycle with 300s is way too much ;-) Obviously, there must be some issue. Even on our 7-10 years old computers, the planner works within a 10Hz control cycle (for a limited, but reasonable local costmap size).

Can you please provide me with more information about your setup and configuration? Did you try the first tutorial: Setup and test Optimization How is your performance here?

Hi Croesmann, I tried the 1st tutorial, and my performance looks ok with all default settings. and this vedio shows the problem I asked. also recorded with all default settings.

thank you for posting the video. The behavior looks indeed quite ugly. Could you please provide me with your navigation configuration files (you told that you are using the default teb paramaters, but what's about costmap parameters, move_base parameters, ...)?

Hi Croesmann, this video shows the comparison among 3 sets of different navigation settings on my PC .And I updated the post with my nav cfgs used in the previous video.Thanks for your help.

Thank you for updating your question with content of your parameter files and for posting the video.

After investigating your parameters, I think that your local costmap configuration causes the high computation time. Your local costmap consist of a static map (static map: true) which is not recommended. In that case the width and height parameters are ignored, leading to a local costmap representing your whole environment. The teb_local_planner treats each occupied costmap cell as single point obstacle (if no costmap conversion plugin is activated, which is the default). With that in mind, it is not surprising that the performance is poor, since each obstacle causes a huge amount of distance calculations during optimization.

My current local costmap configuration contains the following parameters:

static_map: false
rolling_window: true
width: 5.5
height: 5.5
resolution: 0.1

I hope this resolves your issue with huge computation times. If you still have problems with your performance afterwards, there are other parameters that influence the computational resources (number of optimization iterations, area/distance behind the robot that should be checked for obstacles, temporal trajectory resolution, ...). Please let me know in that case. Some hints are also given in the tutorials.

PS: A local costmap resolution of 0.025 is not feasible for the planner on most computers, but it is also not necessary. I am running the planner with a resolution of 0.1 (similar to your 3rd example in the video).

PPS: You might try out the new version 0.3 of the planner. Until it is available in the official repos, you can checkout the master branch of the github repository. Parameters and Tutorials are already updated to be compliant with version 0.3 (some minor parameter changes and a new tutorial).

With the modification of local costmap yaml file, now my virtual turtle bot is much swifter, Thank you! Crosemann.
