Re: [ros-users] controllers for car-like robots

Brian,

A question about LAGR. In the TR paper referenced in the ROS docs, you
say in the intro that the controller accounts for the non-zero turning
radius of the robot. However in the control section you mention that it
samples trajectories with pure theta-dot as well, but this should not be
possible with non-zero turning radius?

That might be of most use to the ROS community as well.

FWIW, the Trajectory Rollout mode of base_local_planner (set ~dwa to
False) implements an algorithm that we developed some years ago
precisely for the LAGR robot. It (our earlier implementation, not the
one in base_local_planner) worked very well on that vehicle.
