Hello, I have written a tutorial showing the different steps to add a new global path planner as plugin in ROS and how to run this created plugin in Turtlebot. http://www.iroboapp.org/index.php?title=Adding_A_Global_Path_Planner_As_Plug in_in_ROS This will make it easier for ROS users to follow this single tutorial rather than going through the different tutorials on plugin and global path planners. Indeed, we are working in the iroboapp project on designing new global path planners (different A* and Dijkstra variants, ACO, Genetic Algorithm, hybrid approaches) for large scale grid maps, and currently we are working on integrating these global planners as plugins in ROS nav_core. I though that this might be useful for ROS community, so I share it. If you have suggestions/comments about this tutorial, please let me know. Thanks Anis
