How to disable curved paths from navigation stack?
I want my 2 wheel drive robot either to go straight or turn.
For example when I give it a goal, i want it first to turn to that goal, then go straight to that point and not go in curved lines.
Is there a way to do this with the ROS navigation stack?
Not sure about the navigation stack, but you have already solved the path planning problem. I would compute the turn angle first and then calculate a straight-line trajectory by myself. But, on the other hand, I am afraid of the situation when an obstacle comes across such a simple-minded trajectory.
