Protected Functions

nav2_util::CallbackReturn on_configure(const rclcpp_lifecycle::State &state) override

Configures controller parameters and member variables.

Configures controller plugin and costmap; Initialize odom subscriber, velocity publisher and follow path action server.

Parameters:

state – LifeCycle Node’s state

Throws:

pluginlib::PluginlibException – When failed to initialize controller plugin

Returns:

Success or Failure

nav2_util::CallbackReturn on_activate(const rclcpp_lifecycle::State &state) override

Activates member variables.

Activates controller, costmap, velocity publisher and follow path action server

Parameters:

state – LifeCycle Node’s state

Returns:

Success or Failure

nav2_util::CallbackReturn on_deactivate(const rclcpp_lifecycle::State &state) override

Deactivates member variables.

Deactivates follow path action server, controller, costmap and velocity publisher. Before calling deactivate state, velocity is being set to zero.

Parameters:

state – LifeCycle Node’s state

Returns:

Success or Failure

nav2_util::CallbackReturn on_cleanup(const rclcpp_lifecycle::State &state) override

Calls clean up states and resets member variables.

Controller and costmap clean up state is called, and resets rest of the variables

Parameters:

state – LifeCycle Node’s state

Returns:

Success or Failure

nav2_util::CallbackReturn on_shutdown(const rclcpp_lifecycle::State &state) override

Called when in Shutdown state.

Parameters:

state – LifeCycle Node’s state

Returns:

Success or Failure

void computeControl()

FollowPath action server callback. Handles action server updates and spins server until goal is reached.

Provides global path to controller received from action client. Twist velocities for the robot are calculated and published using controller at the specified rate till the goal is reached.

Throws:

nav2_core::PlannerException –

bool findControllerId(const std::string &c_name, std::string &name)

Find the valid controller ID name for the given request.

Parameters:

  • c_name – The requested controller name

  • name – Reference to the name to use for control if any valid available

Returns:

bool Whether it found a valid controller to use

bool findGoalCheckerId(const std::string &c_name, std::string &name)

Find the valid goal checker ID name for the specified parameter.

Parameters:

  • c_name – The goal checker name

  • name – Reference to the name to use for goal checking if any valid available

Returns:

bool Whether it found a valid goal checker to use

bool findProgressCheckerId(const std::string &c_name, std::string &name)

Find the valid progress checker ID name for the specified parameter.

Parameters:

  • c_name – The progress checker name

  • name – Reference to the name to use for progress checking if any valid available

Returns:

bool Whether it found a valid progress checker to use

void setPlannerPath(const nav_msgs::msg::Path &path)

Assigns path to controller.

Parameters:

path – Path received from action server

void computeAndPublishVelocity()

Calculates velocity and publishes to “cmd_vel” topic.

void updateGlobalPath()

Calls setPlannerPath method with an updated path received from action server.

void publishVelocity(const geometry_msgs::msg::TwistStamped &velocity)

Calls velocity publisher to publish the velocity on “cmd_vel” topic.

Parameters:

velocity – Twist velocity to be published

void publishZeroVelocity()

Calls velocity publisher to publish zero velocity.

bool isGoalReached()

Checks if goal is reached.

Returns:

true or false

bool getRobotPose(geometry_msgs::msg::PoseStamped &pose)

Obtain current pose of the robot.

Parameters:

pose – To store current pose of the robot

Returns:

true if able to obtain current pose of the robot, else false

inline double getThresholdedVelocity(double velocity, double threshold)

get the thresholded velocity

Parameters:

  • velocity – The current velocity from odometry

  • threshold – The minimum velocity to return non-zero

Returns:

double velocity value

inline nav_2d_msgs::msg::Twist2D getThresholdedTwist(const nav_2d_msgs::msg::Twist2D &twist)

get the thresholded Twist

Parameters:

Twist – The current Twist from odometry

Returns:

Twist Twist after thresholds applied

rcl_interfaces::msg::SetParametersResult dynamicParametersCallback(std::vector<rclcpp::Parameter> parameters)

Callback executed when a parameter change is detected.

Parameters:

event – ParameterEvent message
