hi everyone,

my problem is about object detection and collision avoidance. when the robot starts moving toward the goal, it cannot identify the objects in Infront of it and hit them. I have defined the inflation_layer, obstacle_height, and footprint of the robot in cost-common-params. we are using 'navfn/NavfnROS' as global_planner and 'dwa_local_planner/DWAPlannerROS' as local_planner. I have attached the related move-base params. I am using rtabmap in mapping mode (SLAM) and i have activated rolling-window as well. so I would be grateful if anybody can help?! thanks

What is the configuration of your obstacle_layer? which sensor is it using? is this sensor able to see the obstacle?

hi @matlabbe , thanks for replying i am using 3d lidar, imu, wheel odometer. yeah it can see it, i have attached a pic as well. in the pic you can see that it hits the object, but could not identfy that. I have voxel layer, i donot know i need to define obstacle layer or not!? as i read in websites, voxel layer will be defined for global costmap and obstacle layer will be define for local-costamp( as i defined them as plugin in both costmaps). I have added costmap-common-params to my question.

Dear @matlabbe, would you please help me to find the solution? are these parameters defined correctly? I have used rolling-window in true mode for global cost-map as well. I have also defined footprint but i cannot see any changes in the output.

hi @ matlabbe I have attached in the question the requested info. would you please guide me?thanks

your local costmap doesn't use the voxel_layer, so change obstacles_layer to voxel_layer like in your global costmap parameters. For the order of the layer, I think you should put the voxel_layer before the inflation_layer.
