Plugin (pluginlib)

Plugin Name: easynav_vff_controller/VffController
Type: easynav::VffController
Base Class: easynav::ControllerMethodBase
Library: easynav_vff_controller
Description: Histogram-based obstacle avoidance controller producing velocity commands.

Parameters

No ROS parameters are currently declared in code. (Add declarations in the plugin to enable runtime tuning.)

Interfaces

NavState Keys

Key	Type	Access	Notes
`robot_pose`	`nav_msgs::msg::Odometry`	Read	Current pose for steering decisions.
`path`	`nav_msgs::msg::Path`	Read	Planned path reference.
`cmd_vel`	`geometry_msgs::msg::TwistStamped`	Write	Output velocity command.

Publications

Topic	Type	Purpose	QoS
`/vff/markers`	`visualization_msgs/msg/MarkerArray`	Histogram / debug visualization (name inferred from code marker publisher variable).	depth=10

Subscriptions / Services

None directly; relies on NavState for data sharing.

TF Frames

Relies on frames stamped in robot_pose; does not query TF directly.

Plugin (pluginlib)

Plugin Name: easynav_vff_controller/VffController
Type: easynav::VffController
Base Class: easynav::ControllerMethodBase
Library: easynav_vff_controller
Description: Histogram-based obstacle avoidance controller producing velocity commands.

Parameters

No ROS parameters are currently declared in code. (Add declarations in the plugin to enable runtime tuning.)

Interfaces

NavState Keys

Key	Type	Access	Notes
`robot_pose`	`nav_msgs::msg::Odometry`	Read	Current pose for steering decisions.
`path`	`nav_msgs::msg::Path`	Read	Planned path reference.
`cmd_vel`	`geometry_msgs::msg::TwistStamped`	Write	Output velocity command.

Publications

Topic	Type	Purpose	QoS
`/vff/markers`	`visualization_msgs/msg/MarkerArray`	Histogram / debug visualization (name inferred from code marker publisher variable).	depth=10

Subscriptions / Services

None directly; relies on NavState for data sharing.

TF Frames

Relies on frames stamped in robot_pose; does not query TF directly.

Description: Histogram-based obstacle avoidance controller producing velocity commands.

Parameters

No ROS parameters are currently declared in code. (Add declarations in the plugin to enable runtime tuning.)

Interfaces

NavState Keys

Key	Type	Access	Notes
`robot_pose`	`nav_msgs::msg::Odometry`	Read	Current pose for steering decisions.
`path`	`nav_msgs::msg::Path`	Read	Planned path reference.
`cmd_vel`	`geometry_msgs::msg::TwistStamped`	Write	Output velocity command.

Publications

Topic	Type	Purpose	QoS
`/vff/markers`	`visualization_msgs/msg/MarkerArray`	Histogram / debug visualization (name inferred from code marker publisher variable).	depth=10

Subscriptions / Services

None directly; relies on NavState for data sharing.
