2019-05-20 01:53:50 -0500 marked best answer Teb Local Planner : Increasing x linear velocity

Hi,

I'm currently using the teb local planner for a tricycle robot and it gives good results but I would like to i Increasing the max_vel_x parameter doesn't seem to change the speed and I am having a hard time with it with all the optimization parameters. Increasing the maximum x linear velocity doesn't change anything and cmd_vel remains around 0.25/0.3 m/s maximum.

I looked a bit at the the teb questions and it seems for example, that putting weight_acc_lim* to 0.0 or changing the footprint model would reduce computation time . When setting weight_acc_lim* to 0.0, the robot is not able to move anymore and the error " trajectory not feasible" appears on every goal I am trying to send.

Here is my current configuration for teb local planner :

I tried lots of combinations with rqt_recofnigure and this one gives good results except that i seems to block the linear velocity to small values. I would like to rpevent the robot from going backwards and avoid obstacles coming on its way. Is there any parameters changes that could help keep this characteristics while increasing the velocity of the robot.

Thanks !

Thank you, I went on this page yesterday and that's what I wanted to try today.

2016-04-06 13:48:11 -0500 asked a question tricycle model navigation stack issue

Hello,

I have created a tricycle model (2 wheels+ 1 front steering wheel) driven with the "Tricycle" Ros plugins (gazebo_ros_tricycle_drive.cpp). The model seems to work and I have been able to control it with RQT with odom and cmd_vel topics, following some tutorials. I have included a Kinect in my model and it also seems to work well.

However, when I try to use the navigation stack and set goal commands on Rviz, there are some issues. The tricycle robot always rotates too much - it is making some weird in-place rotations when it needs to rotate and cannot reach its goal. It can only reach it properly when going in a straight direction with no rotations. I tried to change some parameters on the Ros planner or in the plugin but evenif it improves the results a bit, the model is still not acceptable.

I really don't know what to do. The recovery behaviors are put to "false" and I haven't activated the Navfn ros tool. Could it come from the fact that my robot is not a differential kind of robot ? Any help would be really appreciated.
