Hi,

Could anyone know how to use the segbot package (https://github.com/utexas-bwi/segbot) for navigation?

Currently what I can think is that the following three, but I don't know how to combine this segbot package with the navigation package (https://github.com/ros-planning/navigation)

  1. git clone https://github.com/utexas-bwi/segbot
  2. catkin_make in the catkin_ws folder
  3. roslaunch segbot.launch

Thank you in advance!

I am going to assume you are talking about autonomous navigation here. If you want to setup your navigation configuration, take a look at the documentation on this page: http://wiki.ros.org/navigation

You can also take a look at how we do navigation using the segbot stack in the segbot_navigation package: https://github.com/utexas-bwi/segbot_apps

Between the documentation on navigation and our implementation inside segbot_navigation, I am hopeful that you will figure out the navigation configuration required to run your robot.

You can also try using segbot_navigation directly, with the following caveats:

  1. It is designed for ros hydro
  2. The ABI is unstable and still changed frequently. It should stabilize by the end of year.

I installed segbot packages with apt-get command. My purpose with segbot packages was to simulate a segbot. If your purpose is same as mine, you can do on hydro-distribution. I don't check out the packages on the other distribution. You should do with a following command.

$apt-cache search ros-*

As you know, I installed the packages with next command.

$sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-segbot-navigation ros-hydro-segbot-gazebo ros-hydro-segbot-description

I did simulation with next command.

$roslaunch segbot_gazebo segbot_navigation.launch

If it doesn't work, you should install other packages except those mentioned above.
