strange movement with dwa

Dear all,

I am trying to perform navigation with my robot. I have created a map using rtabmap_ros with stereo+2Dlaser configuration. I have tried to tune the navigation parameter, but still there is this strange behaviour. (see video here). I think it might be localization problem. I am not sure. Can some guide me?

Here are my costmap parameters:

global costmap:

#global_costmap:
global_frame: map
robot_base_frame: base_link
update_frequency: 1
publish_frequency: 1
static_map: true
rolling_window: false
always_send_full_costmap: false
transform_tolerance: 0.5
inflation_radius: 0.55
cost_scaling_factor: 10.0

plugins:
   - {name: static_layer, type: "rtabmap_ros::StaticLayer"}
   - {name: obstacle_layer, type: "costmap_2d::ObstacleLayer"}
   - {name: inflation_layer,  type: "costmap_2d::InflationLayer"}

local_costmap:

local_costmap:
  global_frame: wheel_odom
  robot_base_frame: base_link
  update_frequency: 5.0
  publish_frequency: 2.0
  static_map: false
  rolling_window: true
  width: 4.0
  height: 4.0
  resolution: 0.03
  inflation_radius: 0.55
  cost_scaling_factor: 5.0
  origin_x: -2.0
  origin_y: -2.0

common_costmap:

footprint: [[0.2,0.28],[-0.45,0.28],[-0.45,-0.28],[0.2,-0.28]]
obstacle_range: 2.5
raytrace_range: 3.0
footprint_padding: 0.02
robot_radius: 0.36

transform_tolerance: 2
observation_sources: laser_scan_pls point_cloud_sensor
laser_scan_pls: {sensor_frame: sick_pls_link,  data_type: LaserScan,  topic: /sick_pls/scan,  marking: true,  clearing: true}

point_cloud_sensor: {sensor_frame:  bumblebee_left,    data_type: PointCloud2,    topic: /planner_cloud,     expected_update_rate: 0.5,     marking: true,     clearing: true,   min_obstacle_height: -99999.0,    max_obstacle_height: 1.5}
map_type: costmap

###Robot Configuration Parameters

  acc_lim_x : 1.5

    #The x acceleration limit of the robot in meters/sec^2 

  acc_lim_y : 2

    #The y acceleration limit of the robot in meters/sec^2 

  acc_lim_theta : 3
    #The rotational acceleration limit of the robot in radians/sec^2

  max_vel_x : 0.12

    #The maximum x velocity for the robot in m/s. 

  min_vel_x : 0

    #The minimum x velocity for the robot in m/s, negative for backwards motion. 

  max_vel_y : 0

    #The maximum y velocity for the robot in m/s 

  min_vel_y : 0

    #The minimum y velocity for the robot in m/s 

  max_vel_theta : 0.35

  #latch_xy_goal_tolerance : false

    #If goal tolerance is latched, if the robot ever reaches the goal xy location it will simply rotate in place, even if it ends up outside the goal tolerance while it is doing so. 



###Forward Simulation Parameters


  sim_time : 1.3

    #The amount of time to forward-simulate trajectories in seconds 

  sim_granularity : 0.025

    #The step size, in meters, to take between points on a given trajectory

  vx_samples : 3

    #The number of samples to use when exploring the ...

Can you A) zoom in B) visualize the cost cloud and local path C) clarify which part of the navigation surprised you

Apologies, here is the zoomed version showing local path (green) and global path (blue). What I find strange is that the robot is not following the local path. And the local path does not get updated like the global path.

Also, I do not understand why the move_base takes some time at the beginning to send velocity command.

How many velocity commands is is sending per second

I need to check it. I will report it tomorrow. It is already night here.

Does poor localization affect navigation?

rate of velocity commands seems to be decreasing. rostopic hz /navigation/cmd_vel gives me

Hello David, Could you give me a hint, what might be wrong?

pravin1 gravatar image pravin1  ( 2019-09-13 10:32:48 -0500 )edit

What topic is the green line?

David Lu gravatar image David Lu  ( 2019-09-17 15:17:27 -0500 )edit

Green line represents the global plan from DWA planner. The topic is:

/move_base/DWAPlannerROS/global_plan
