Package Description

Bumper/cliff to pointcloud nodelet: Publish bumpers and cliff sensors events as points in a pointcloud, so navistack can use them for poor-man navigation. Implemented as a nodelet intended to run together with kobuki_node.

Launch files

  • launch/standalone.launch
    • Example standalone launcher for the bumper/cliff to pointcloud nodelet. Parameter pointcloud_radius gives the bumper/cliff pointcloud distance to base frame; should be something like the robot radius plus plus costmap resolution plus an extra to cope with robot inertia. This is a bit tricky parameter: if it's too low, costmap will ignore this pointcloud (the robot footprint runs over the hit obstacle), but if it's too big, hit obstacles will be mapped too far from the robot and the navigation around them will probably fail.
