[ros-users] controllers for car-like robots

[DRamachandran at hra.com]

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.
