I am trying to run a navigation simulation with some of the nav2 packages and rviz. The node that I run are: map_server, planner_server, waypoint_follower, controller_server, recovery_server, bt_navigator. I provide also the static transform world -> map, map -> base_link (non static custom tranforsm to localize), base_link -> odom and I visualize all on rviz2. Here the main configurations:

bt_navigator:

The result is that I obtain that message on controller server and the robot continues to spin due to robot recoveries. Why?

This can happen if the velocity reported in your /odom data is greater than limits set in the DWB parameters. In your case, if the X velocity exceeds FollowPath.max_vel_x or (Sqrt(X^2 + Y^2) exceeds FollowPath.max_speed_xy

"This can happen if the velocity reported in your /odom data" what do you mean? The odom frame is fixed and coincident with base_link. The base_link moves accordingly with integration over time of cmd_vel. I tried to modify the following parameters accordingly to your suggestions, but doesn't work.

FollowPath.max_vel_x: 0.26
FollowPath.max_speed_xy: 0.3 #now is greater than sqrt(x^2 + y^2)

The following are further console output that maybe could be useful for you to understand:

[INFO] [global_costmap.global_costmap]: Received request to clear entirely the global_costmap
[INFO] [local_costmap.local_costmap]: Received request to clear entirely the local_costmap

It seems that the costmaps built are "occupied".

It seems that the costmaps built are "occupied".

That is just the default behavior when DWB fails. We just try to clear the costmaps regardless of the reason for failure. That is something we need to improve on. It is unrelated to the real problem.

What I recommend is running rqt, going to Plugins->Visualization->plot and monitoring the /odom topic - specifically you want to monitor the following fields in the message

  • twist/twist/linear/x
  • twist/twist/linear/y
  • twist/twist/angular/z

My guess is that one or more of the fields above will be very noisy and go beyond the maximum values.

On the /odom topic is not published anything.

Oh. Well, that is a problem. The controller uses the /odom messages to determine the current velocity of the robot. Without that, information, it will be unable to plan properly.

The /odom message is normally published by the gazebo diff_drive plugin (or equivalent). On a real robot, it is published by the robot base controller - typically a node that reads the IMU or wheel encoders.

What is the meaning of the header frame id and the child frame id in that topic?

lorenzo gravatar image lorenzo  ( 2020-02-19 15:04:52 -0500 )edit

Usually, header frame id is odom and child_frame_id is base_footprint or base_link.

Basically, the /odom message gives the position and velocity of the robot in relation to the odom frame, so the child_frame_id is the frame of reference used by the robot. If you follow the standard https://www.ros.org/reps/rep-0105.html, then it should be base_link, but for variious reasons, the example configuration provided by Nav2 uses base_footprint
