Getting started with Nav2
In this section, we will go through the basic concepts of the Nav2 project, which include the definition, history, architecture, and features of the project. Let’s first look at the Nav2 project in detail.
What is the Nav2 project?
The Nav2 project [1] offers autonomous navigation capabilities for mobile robots based on ROS 2. This project aims to enable navigation for nearly any mobile robot in complex environments. Developers using ROS 2 can readily integrate Nav2 capabilities into their robotics applications.
The Nav2 project offers modules for planning, control, localization, perception, visualization, and more to develop a stable and reliable autonomous system. It includes a collection of pre-built ROS 2 nodes and plugins that developers can use to configure the modules above. Nav2 can accept a list of waypoints as input and dynamically plan the path to these points. It can also avoid obstacles and ultimately compute the velocities...
