Use of the navigation stack with a drone
Hi everyone,
is this possible to use the navigation stack with a flying robot ? (considering that we're flying on a constant altitude).
Hardware Requirements
While the Navigation Stack is designed to be as general purpose as possible, there are three main hardware requirements that restrict its use:
It is meant for both differential drive and holonomic wheeled robots only. It assumes that the mobile base is controlled by sending desired velocity commands to achieve in the form of: x velocity, y velocity, theta velocity.
You could use some of the framework, but all of the planning & control in the navigation stack is designed for differential drive / wheeled robots.
Hi, fist of all thank you for your answer. Could you be more specifical ? the output of the navigation stack is a Twist message. Considering my drone could read these messages, what will be the difference comparing to a wheeled robot ?
Hi, I think that you can use but you will need to make wrappers to transform data and models the 2D in a 3D world. It's a interesting works be carefull with the input data to the navigation.
