Hello All

I am using Ros to command Gazebo. I have already incorporated the DiffDrive Plugin and used it to drive it around; and I have also write a rosnode to send out cmd_vel topic command.

The next step I am looking for is to:

1) get the current position of my robot.

this probably has something to do with tf, I will investigate in it.

2) move to a specific position without worrying about obstacle,

What I need help is number 2. Do you guys know any off-the-shelves package or tutorial I could use ? Where should I start this?

Your help is much appreciated.

For step 1: write a tf publisher

For step 2: a motion planning library with some way to detect obstacles.

also, do you recommend for the "move_base" package? have you ever used it?
