the robot rotates instead of following the path

Hello

my robot seems to be undecided when following a trajectory from a certain point. It rotate in the same place over and over again.

Video: robot video

The problem seems to happen sometimes and only in a few places.

Maybe my robot's footprint is interfering negatively. I believe that there is no problem with the base, because using the teleop_twist_keyboard it works well.

My robot is differential, with RPLIDAR A1. Move_base is running on a machine on the local network with core i5 and base_controler on a raspberrypi. My odometry rate is approximately 50Hz. My local planner is TrajectoryPlannerROS

Any parameter tips to adjust?

Here are my yaml files:

    local_costmap:
          global_frame: /map
          robot_base_frame: /base_footprint

          height: 5.0
          resolution: 0.02 #defaul 0.02

    global_costmap:
          global_frame: /map
          robot_base_frame: /base_footprint
          transform_tolerance: 0.5 

          update_frequency: 1.0
          publish_frequency: 1.0 
          static_map: true
          rolling_window: false

   costmap_common_params_navigation:
          obstacle_range: 2.5
          raytrace_range: 3.0

          footprint: [[-0.06,-0.115],[-0.06,0.115],[0.17,0.115],[0.17,-0.115]]

Looks like it's within the inflation zone around the counter. If that behavior is absent when out in the middle of the room, it looks like ROS trying to avoid hitting the counter. Reduce inflation and make sure that you don't start or stop navigation within an inflation zone. If that behavior occurs even outside of inflation zones, then I can't help you.

Thank you for your reply. I believe this is the reason, because in the middle of the room it is working normally.

OK. I'll change comment to answer and you can mark as correct.
