neonavigation meta-package

ROS meta-package for autonomous vehicle navigation.

Important notices

• Topic/service namespace model is migrated to ROS recommended style. See each package’s README and runtime migration messages from the nodes.

Install

• Note 1: neonavigation_msgs meta-package is required to build neonavigation meta-package.
• Note 2: neonavigation_rviz_plugins meta-package is required to visualize PathWithVelocity message used between planner_3d and trajectory_tracker.
