Problem with global planning

[oycool]

Hi Reinis Cimurs, first of all, thank you very much for sharing.
I have a question about this program. Does this program include local planning and global planning?

[reiniscimurs]

Global planning is executed via POI and their generation is part of this program. While heuristics exist here, they should be taken from the heuristics repo.

Local planning is executed via DRL policy that outputs an action which is used as input in the step function.

Thanks for your clear answer.
Can you guide me on how to generate the topic /move_base/TrajectoryPlannerROS/global_plan that generates the trajectory?

[reiniscimurs]

The trajectory generation is already in the code here. I think what would help better is following some move_base tutorials to understand it better. http://wiki.ros.org/move_base
I don't have much more information that i could provide that is not already in the code.

Where is this subscribed topic published?self.path = rospy.Subscriber('/move_base/TrajectoryPlannerROS/global_plan', Path, self.path_callback, queue_size=1)

You have to create your navigation stack and publish it:

Hi Reinis Cimurs,I have a question to ask you.
https://github.com/reiniscimurs/GDAE/blob/main/Code/GDAM_env.py#L226-L235 In these lines of code, is original_goal in the map coordinate system converted to the odom coordinate system?

[reiniscimurs]

odom and map frames drift over time so you need to update the goal position in regards to this drift in odom frame. I do not recall the details but I think you are correct that goal is updated to fit the odom frame.

Hi, what points are stored in the map_nodes? Does it have anything to do with POI?

[reiniscimurs]

map_nodes store immediate positions for laser at certain distance to see how it "maps" the environment. They are not used for POI and are used for debugging.
