Global plan does not update in move_base
Environment:
OS: ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) on an x64
ROS: kinetic
Navigation stack: 1.14.3
Config:
base_global_planner: "navfn/NavfnROS"
base_local_planner: "base_local_planner/TrajectoryPlannerROS"
planner_frequency: 10
Problem:
I have setup move_base as per the tutorial, however, Global Plan does not seem to update at a specified planner_frequency. It updates when the local_base_planner's path touches an obstacle, however, I want global plan to be recomputed with each new robot position. One way I seek to do this is to update the global plan at some frequency. Navigation tutorials mention that planner_frequency is new to Navigation stack 1.6.0. How do I update my Navigation stack with Kinetic ROS distribution? Also, if there is a better solution to my problem? Some easy way to constantly update global path as robot moves with my existing setup.
Than you.
Which tutorial are you following? Because there is no nav_stack 1.16 and planner_frequency has been a component for a long time.
Sorry, my bad. I meant navigation 1.6.0 . I followed this for the setup: http://wiki.ros.org/navigation/Tutori...http://wiki.ros.org/move_base
I added planner_frequency: 10 in my config file, and I can see move_base/planner_frequency on my ros param server.
I did sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-navigation to install the navigation stack. And, package.xml file in kinetic/share/navigation shows version as "1.14.3"
One annoying thing about the version numbers is that there should be a leading zero for navigation 1.06.0. So the version you have should definitely suffice.
10 hz if fairly fast. Can you set it to
0.5to start and see if that works first?Reducing "planner_frequency" to 0.5 or 1 seems to work. Thank you so much!
