So, I can't really speak to all the packages out there that might perform local path planning, but I can talk about the base_local_planner and dwa_local_planner packages. However, I'd like to answer this question on answers.ros.org instead of ros-users as I think that's a more appropriate forum. If you don't mind, could you please re-post this question on answers.ros.org and send out a link to it? I'll be happy to answer it there.

A further inquiry on this topic:

Could someone point myself and Thibault to other packages (in other repos) that perform local path planning and conform to the move_base interface? And maybe comment on their performance...

Thanks!

Subject: [ros-users] navigation stack local plaanners

Hi,

the navigation stack contains the trajectory planner and the dwa local
planner. What is the ROS community recommendation with regards to those
two? Which one should one rather use? The wiki recommends dwa, but I am
not sure how recent that information is.

Is there a strategy for how to evolve them in the future?
The wiki provides only very sparse information about those two, and from
it it seems strange that the two planners don't share more common code.
Also it seems one copied a lot from the other, so there is a lot of
duplicate similar code anyway, which for me would be a reason to unify
the sources, so that bugfixes and improvements to one also affect the other.

regards,
Thibault
