Description

The move_base package provides an implementation of an action (see the actionlib package) that provides a goal in the world, while attempting to reach it with a mobile base.
http://wiki.ros.org/move_base

It works in conjunction with 4 ROS plugins, namely – base_global_planner, base_local_planner, global_costmap and local_costmap.

It receives a target-goal and when after it is reached, a goal-result is returned.

Periodically, it sends output velocity commands to the robot via cmd_vel.

Parameter List

There are 9 parameters.

Parameter	Description
base_global_planner	[string] The name of the plugin for the global planner to use with move_base. You may refer to the pluginlib GGG documentation for more details about the plugins. This plugin must adhere to the nav_core::BaseGlobalPlanner interface specified in the nav_core package.
base_local_planner	[string] The name of the plugin for the local planner to use with move_base. You may refer to the pluginlib documentation for more details about plugins. This plugin must adhere to the nav_core::BaseLocalPlanner interface specified in the nav_core package.
clearing_rotation_allowed	[bool] Determines whether or not the robot will attempt an in-place rotation while attempting to clear out space. Note – This parameter is only used when the default recovery behaviors are in use, meaning the user has not set the recovery_behaviors parameter to anything custom.
cmd_vel	[string] The name of the topic responsible for streaming velocity commands meant for execution by a mobile base.
controller_frequency	[double] The rate in Hz at which to run the control loop and send velocity commands to the base.
planner_frequency	[double] The rate in Hz at which to run the global planning loop. If the frequency is set to 0.0, the global planner will only run when a new goal is received or the local planner reports that its path is blocked.
planner_patience	[double] The length of time that the planner will wait in seconds in an attempt to find a valid plan before space-clearing operations are performed.
recovery_behavior_enabled	[bool] Whether or not to enable the move_base recovery behaviors to attempt to clear out space.
static_map	[string] This parameter determines whether or not the costmap should initialize itself based on a map served by the map_server.
