The next section will cover running Isaac Sim and connecting it to the
Navigation Stack, at which point these messages will stop and the Navigation
Stack will drive the robot in the simulation.


At high level the basic principle is to not do extensive collision checking or
planning unless explicitly required due to an immediate impending collision.
How we do this is by enforcing a narrow neighborhood around each robot and
doing local collision avoidance to avoid collisions in this neighborhood. This
gives the controller its ‘laziness’. This local collision avoidance is
implemented using the velocity obstacles algorithm. For each agent, all other
agents act as obstacles in the velocity space and hence invalidate a set of
velocities that this agent can execute. Velocity obstacles tries to select the
best velocity as close to the preferred velocity as possible from the set of
valid velocities. Preferred velocity is calculated for each agent from the
global A* path found by the planner. Staying on this A* path is the preferred
thing to do unless otherwise ruled out due to obstacles.

A multi robot navigation stack enables groups of robots to traverse around
each other and navigate from their start positions to their goal locations
without colliding with one another, crowding or slowing each other down.
Usually the inputs to the stack are start and goal positions of each robot and
some representation of the environment. Outputs of this stack are usually
velocity commands that the robots can execute.


In a planning based approach, we design and implement a centralised multi
robot planner which calculates collision free trajectories for each robot in
the fleet and then these are executed by each robot with a decentralised
controller.

The lazy traffic controller has many interfaces with a lot of subsystems. The
LT controller talks to the fleet management system to receive updates on the
status of the fleet. It talks to the SLAM subsystem to receive the latest map
of the environment. It also takes the pose for each agent from the
transformation tree. It advertises a controller service which is used by the
Mission Executive to actually send the list of agents and their planned paths
for execution by the controller. Last but not least, it advertises the
controller status of each robot, so that the task allocator can assign new
tasks once old ones are completed! Pseudocode for the LT controller can be
written as : \- Loop through all the agents 1-n: \- Get path from the
decentralised planner \- Get pose from the transformation tree \- Calculate
preferred velocity for this robot \- Calculate neighbouring agents for this
robot \- If any neighbours inside neighbourhood: \- Calculate safe velocity
using velocity obstacles technique \- Else: \- Keep preferred velocity
unchanged. \- Modify velocity using interrobot repulsion if another neighbour
within repulsion radius

And what is this goal? The main goal is to make a robot move from point A to
point B, in a safe way. So, basically, to find a path that allows the robot to
reach the destination, while making sure that it will not collide with other
robots, with people, and obstacles.

As seen in the block diagram, most of the navigation stack runs on a
centralised server apart from a low level speed controller running on the
robot agents. We have a 3D Graph data structure which underneath uses a
costmap to store the structure of the environment and provides a planning
representation for our planner. The Planner uses this graph data structure to
plan trajectories in x,y and time for each robot and then feeds these
trajectories to a multi-threaded controller. The multi-threaded controller
uses a classic pure pursuit formulation to generate command velocities to
enable accurate tracking of the generated trajectories. The velocities are
then passed to the fleet management system which transmits them to the right
agents for actual execution. At a high level the prioritized multi A* performs
these steps in a loop to perform its task :

Note

Both polygon shapes in the tutorial were set statically. However, there is an
ability to dynamically adjust them over time using topic messages containing
vertices points for polygons or footprints. For more information, please refer
to the configuration guide.

For the working configuration, at least one data source should be added. In
current demonstration, it is used laser scanner (though ` PointCloud2  ` and
Range/Sonar/IR sensors are also possible), which is described by the following
lines for Collision Monitor node:

    observation_sources: ["scan"]
    scan:
      type: "scan"
      topic: "scan"

Set topic names, frame ID-s and timeouts to work correctly with a default Nav2
setup. The whole ` nav2_collision_monitor/params/collision_monitor_params.yaml
` file in this case will look as follows:

    collision_monitor:
      ros__parameters:
        use_sim_time: True
        base_frame_id: "base_footprint"
        odom_frame_id: "odom"

The Isaac Sim  run_scene.py  script’s  –robot  option only supports adding
Nova Carter to a scene. However, the source code is readily available in the
container and serves as a useful example for connecting Nova Carter to the
Navigation Stack using the Isaac Sim Python API. The syntax for using the Nova
Carter GXF asset is the same as what is provided in the  run_scene.py  script
- only the USD path needs to be modified.

First, as you may know, ROS2 communication is based on DDS (for the
middleware). No need to dive into this now, you just have to know that there
are several possible DDS implementations, and the default one for ROS2 is Fast
DDS. Unfortunately it doesn’t work so well with Nav2, so it’s been recommended
to use Cyclone DDS instead.

  Configuring Collision Monitor with VelocityPolygon  ¶

[
![../../_images/dexory_velocity_polygon.gif](../../_images/dexory_velocity_polygon.gif)
](../../_images/dexory_velocity_polygon.gif)

For this part of tutorial, we will set up the Collision Monitor with `
VelocityPolygon  ` type for a ` stop  ` action. ` VelocityPolygon  ` allows
the user to setup multiple polygons to cover the range of the robot’s velocity
limits. For example, the user can configure different polygons for rotation,
moving forward, or moving backward. The Collision Monitor will check the
robot’s velocity against each sub polygon to determine the approriate polygon
to be used for collision checking.

In general, here are the steps to configure the Collision Monitor with `
VelocityPolygon  ` type:

  1. Add a ` VelocityPolygon  ` to the ` polygons  ` param list

  2. Configure the ` VelocityPolygon  `

  3. Specify the ` holonomic  ` property of the polygon (default is ` false  ` )

  4. Start by adding a ` stopped  ` sub polygon to cover the full range of the robot’s velocity limits in ` velocity_polygons  ` list

  5. Add additional sub polygons to the front of the ` velocity_polygons  ` list to cover the range of the robot’s velocity limits for each type of motion (e.g. rotation, moving forward, moving backward)

In this example, we will consider a **non-holonomic** robot with linear
velocity limits of ` -1.0  ` to ` 1.0  ` m/s and angular velocity limits of `
-1.0  ` to ` 1.0  ` rad/s. The ` linear_min  ` and ` linear_max  ` parameters
of the sub polygons should be set to the robot’s linear velocity limits, while
the ` theta_min  ` and ` theta_max  ` parameters should be set to the robot’s
angular velocity limits.

Below is the example configuration using 4 sub-polygons to cover the full
range of the robot’s velocity limits:

    polygons: ["VelocityPolygonStop"]

You must run the Navigation Stack to the point it is waiting for a TCP
connection before running the ` run_scene.py  ` script to ensure the client
connects to the simulation correctly. Otherwise, the simulation will
automatically run before the client is available to connect, sending sensor
messages to the client with timestamps far ahead of the client’s internal
clock. This will likely result in fatal deserialization errors.

  1. This design works really well when robots have unconstrained motion around each other in 2D and robots are small in size compared to the free space around them!
  2. The controller frequency had to be tuned based on the execution frequency on the robots. The execution frequency for us is around 10Hz on each robot (this is the frequency at which velocities are set on the motors). In conjunction with this we found 5Hz to be a good frequency to run the controller. So every 20ms the controller is invoked, a neighborhood and the preferred velocity is calculated and then the velocity obstacles velocity is sent to the robots.
  3. Another thing we realised was that our differential drive robots were not instantaneously achieving the velocities we were sending them, hence the velocity obstacles were using the wrong velocities in its calculations. So we decided to use **feedback velocity** from the robots with the LT controller. In short we used the odometry feedback from the robots to calculate the feedback velocity for each robot in each time interval so that velocity obstacles works more effectively.
  4. The high level implementation of velocity obstacles inside the Lazy Traffic controller is in a centralised way in a sense that the server knows exactly the positions of all robots and their velocities so there is no estimation/prediction involved anywhere. But the velocity calculation is in a pretty decentralised way (because as stated in the section above, we are using feedback velocities from the robots instead of commanded velocities). This decentralised velocity calculation led to oscillations on the robots while avoiding collisions because robots were reacting to each other. We modified the cost function to solve this by adding a term to penalize large change in velocities with respect to the current feedback velocity. So the new cost function we are left with looks like this :

You may now open Isaac Sight as described above to visualize the Navigation
Stack.


  1. The Prioritised Multi A* as we know it does not guarantee completeness. Our naive heuristic also fails in very highly cluttered environments because instead of going around obstacles it can tend to wait around and hope for static obstacles to go away. So planning takes a long time. Some directions that can be considered for improving this :
    * Use a Voronoi Graph instead of a densely connected 3D grid for planning
    * Replace manhattan distance using a more realistic true distance heuristic function
    * Use motion primitives with the planner instead of an 8 connected grid
  2. We found that without using the right motion primitives, robots deviate from the planned trajectories and then planning is wasted, so the planner should closely model kinematics of the robot, continous replanning at a fixed frequence could be used to alleiviate this problem
  3. The controller that we implemented was a pretty basic proportional controller and it was unable to account for the execution errors
  4. This Navigation stack design is appropriate for confined spaces when robots are large but operating area is narrow or robots are moving on a fixed grid, for our application we found this to not work as well as required

Another important tool is the 2D pose estimate. You can assist Jackal in
localization by giving it a rough idea of where it should be in the map.
Youâll notice that the pose array will get populated in the general area of
a 2D pose estimate, and once again gets refined as it eliminates poses.

Our trajectories in time include some pauses/stops along the way for avoiding
collisions with other robots, so an off the shelf controller in 2D which
ignores the time dimension was not going to work. So we came up with the
LGController which borrows ideas from multiple different control schemes to
help meet our requirements. Roughly the controller has the following

Note: use “use_sim_time” only if running with Gazebo. For the “map” argument,
provide the path to the YAML file of the map.


In addition, weâll need the Jackal navigation package, but instead of
installing the debians packages with apt-get, weâll create a sourced
workspace so we can make changes to some of these files and see how it effects
our simulation. For a full explanation on creating and compiling a sourced
workspace, check out our [ Creating a Workspace & Package
](http://www.clearpathrobotics.com/guides/ros/Creating%20publisher.html)
tutorial, but for the purpose of this tutorial, here is a series of commands
thatâll clone the jackal_navigation package (and a few others) into a
sourced workspace.


* Resources


This launch file launches the [ move_base ](http://wiki.ros.org/move_base)
package. **move_base** allows Jackal to try to reach a goal simply with laser
and odometry data.

The main safe drive function is the STO whereby the immediately torque-off on
the motor may be accompanied by an SBC command to close the brakes. The SLS
functions cause the drive to decelerate (if required) and monitor whether the
velocity is held within the defined limits. The functions SDIp and SDIn enable
the motor movement only in the corresponding (positive or negative) direction.

[ General  ](/c/general/8)


This revolutionary solution, which quickly turns any manually handled platform
into an electrically assisted one. Our solutions have been adopted by hundreds
of end-users to improve productivity and prevent work accidents caused by
manual handling. Our products are used in a variety of applications, in fields
of Automotive, Factory logistics, Warehouses, Food processing, Hospitals and
Pharmaceutical industries.


I’m happy to announce that ros2_controllers has a new family member: the [
Tricycle Controller. ](https://github.com/ros-
controls/ros2_controllers/tree/master/tricycle_controller)
It is a controller aimed for robots with a tricycle base configuration (two
wheels in the back and 1 in the front). The traction and steering is done by
the front wheel.
