How to use nav2_simple_commander in foxy?

asked 2021-12-12 08:19:37 -0500

I am trying to follow https://navigation.ros.org/commander_... to create a simple demo application using navigation2 (the simple commander API looks really cool for a simple demo application, BTW). However I am unable to find the simple commander package in foxy. The foxy-develbranch at https://github.com/ros-planning/navig... does not even have the corresponding directory for nav2_simple_commander.

What should I install to get nav2_simple_commander.py in foxy or alternatively what API/tutorial should I use to implement a simple example that sets the initial pose estimate for a turtlebot and then navigates to a fixed goal point in Python?

Incidentally, I tried to work in galactic, where the package for the simple commander appears to exist - but there I run into troubles of being unable to get the turtlebot3 simulation packages for webots to work (I guess some other packages wait for release).

Nevermind. I used this example from Steve: https://github.com/ros-planning/navig... (which seems to be an early draft of nav2_simple_commander). I only used the tiny part I needed to navigate to the initial pose. I presume that the simple commander was only implemented for galactic, so future users will be able to use it (it seems great!).

Hey Andrzej,

i want to use the simple commander for foxy too. I executed the node from Steve: https://github.com/ros-planning/navig...

But gettting this output:

[INFO] [1686824312.587229383] [basic_navigator]: Publishing Initial Pose
[INFO] [1686824314.598953296] [basic_navigator]: Setting initial pose
[INFO] [1686824314.600323862] [basic_navigator]: Publishing Initial Pose

[INFO] [1686824314.602949965] [basic_navigator]: Setting initial pose

Any ideas how to fix this? Thank you so much :)
