Hi all,

Does anyone know of a reliable algorithm that can do path planning in 3D? Assuming that a 3D point cloud is available in real time. Are there any ROS packages are available?

I have a packbot and am supposed to navigate it autonomously in a highly undulating military environment. I have no idea how to go about doing it.

On another note, I am a new ROS user and have a hard time understanding the navigation tutorials. Is there any ROS based project I can take a look? A very very simplified one will do. Its just to help me take off since I have a project deadline in a month.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Cheers

Aswin
