So, why do we need Nav2 in the first place? Well, as you probably already
know, ROS is a great framework that allows you to develop new robotics
applications in no time. You get a lot of “plumbing” already done for you, a
huge set of plug & play libraries, a community to help you, etc.

  Preparing Nav2 stack  ¶

The Collision Monitor is designed to operate below Nav2 as an independent
safety node. It acts as a filter for the ` cmd_vel  ` messages from the
controller to avoid potential collisions. If no such zone is triggered, then
the ` cmd_vel  ` message is used. Else, it is scaled or set to stop as
appropriate.

By default, the Collision Monitor is configured for usage with the Nav2
bringup package, running in parallel with the ` navigation_launch.py  ` launch
file. For correct operation of the Collision Monitor with the Velocity
Smoother, it is required to remove the Velocity Smoother’s ` cmd_vel_smoothed
` remapping in the ` navigation_launch.py  ` bringup script as presented
below. This will make the output topic of the Velocity Smoother to be
untouched, which will be the input to the newly added Collision Monitor:

    Node(
        package='nav2_velocity_smoother',
        executable='velocity_smoother',
        name='velocity_smoother',

Note

It is recommended to include a ` stopped  ` sub polygon as the last entry in
the ` velocity_polygons  ` list to cover the entire range of the robot’s
velocity limits. In cases where the velocity is not within the scope of any
sub polygons, the Collision Monitor will log a warning message and continue
with the previously matched polygon.

Note

When velocity is covered by multiple sub polygons, the first sub polygon in
the list will be used.

**For holomic robots:**

For holomic robots, the ` holonomic  ` property should be set to ` true  ` .
In this scenario, the ` linear_min  ` and ` linear_max  ` parameters should
cover the robot’s resultant velocity limits, while the ` theta_min  ` and `
theta_max  ` parameters should cover the robot’s angular velocity limits.
Additionally, there will be 2 more parameters, ` direction_start_angle  ` and
` direction_end_angle  ` , to specify the resultant velocity direction. The
covered direction will always span from ` direction_start_angle  ` to `
direction_end_angle  ` in the **counter-clockwise** direction.

This process is really not easy, especially if you’re doing it for the first
time. So, to make things easier – as the goal here is just to get an
introduction of the stack – we will use the Turtlebot3 in Gazebo.

**/map** topic, which is what is being built from the gmapping demo as the
robot moves around. If you click the check box beside the other map, you can
now see the costmap from **/move_base/global_costmap/costmap** . The costmap
is responsible for the inflation around obstacles to account for the footprint
of the robot; the larger the inflation radius, the further the robot will keep
away from these obstacles.

If you give Jackal a 2D nav goal, you can see how the pose array gets much
more refined, as the system takes in more information about its surrounding,
and rules out possible poses.

  1. We compared two competing approaches for centralised multi robot navigation and found the control based approach to work better
  2. We discussed design of each and pros and cons of both the approaches
  3. We hope this discussion provides a good foundation for the design of multi robot navigation stacks of MRSD in the future!

  Configuring Collision Monitor  ¶

The Collision Monitor node has its own ` collision_monitor_node.launch.py  `
launch-file and preset parameters in the ` collision_monitor_params.yaml  `
file for demonstration, though its trivial to add this to Nav2’s main launch
file if being used in practice. For the demonstration, two shapes will be
created - an inner stop and a larger slowdown bounding boxes placed in the
front of the robot:

[ ![../../_images/polygons.png](../../_images/polygons.png)
](../../_images/polygons.png)

If more than 3 points will appear inside a slowdown box, the robot will
decrease its speed to ` 30%  ` from its value. For the cases when obstacles
are dangerously close to the robot, inner stop zone will work. For this setup,
the following lines should be added into ` collision_monitor_params.yaml  `
parameters file. Stop box is named as ` PolygonStop  ` and slowdown bounding
box - as ` PolygonSlow  ` :

    polygons: ["PolygonStop", "PolygonSlow"]
    PolygonStop:
      type: "polygon"
      points: "[[0.4, 0.3], [0.4, -0.3], [0.0, -0.3], [0.0, 0.3]]"
      action_type: "stop"
      min_points: 4

Now, how do you go from knowing the ROS basics, to successfully implementing
navigation for a mobile robot? This is not trivial at all, and fortunately,
the Navigation 2 stack was developed just for that. The “stack” is a
collection of packages that have been developed with one goal in mind.


  * image: the relative path from the YAML file to the PGM file.
  * resolution: in meters per pixels. So, here 0.05 meters per pixels. One pixel represents 5 cm. That gives you the precision of the map.
  * origin: the coordinates of the robot (when it started) relative to the lowest left point on the map.
  * negate: if you set it to 1, then free and occupied space will be inverted.
  * occupied_tresh and free_tresh: very basically put, when mapping, each pixel will be given a probability about whether there is an obstacle or not. With the values that you see here, if the probability is greater than 65%, we consider the space to be occupied. If the probability is less than 25%, the space is free.

omap coordinates, and the yaw value in ` rotation_rpy  ` will be the desired
goal yaw orientation in degrees.


You will first install the Nav2 stack on ROS2 Humble, then you will start
directly to generate a map with SLAM. After this, we will check what’s inside
the map, and then use this map with the Navigation 2 stack, so that we can
make a robot navigate inside the map.

when you start again, it will be much faster.

The **Jackal_navigation** package simply contains configuration files in the
params directory, and launch files to load these parameters and launch certain
packages in the ROS navigation stack. The navigation stack is where the real
magic happens when it comes to navigating with a ROS robot. Letâs begin by
launching our Jackal simulation with a simulated laser.

Since both ` PolygonStop  ` and ` PolygonSlow  ` polygons will have their own
publishers, they could be added to visualization as shown at the picture
below:

Set the initial pose and then put Nav2 goal on map. The robot will start its
movement, slowing down while running near the obstacles, and stopping in close
proximity to them:

Make the robot move around until you get a satisfying result. By the way, what
is a satisfying result? Well if you can manage to clear most of the free space
(white pixels), and get most of the obstacles (black pixels), that’s good
enough, and navigation will work fine. No need to clear 100% of the pixels.


* [ Hardware ](https://docs.nvidia.com/isaac/doc/troubleshooting_and_faqs.html#hardware)


Now, you can experiment with different poses. Give valid ones, and also
invalid ones (ex: a point that cannot be reached).


Let’s start from a clean environment – stop everything, close and reopen all
terminals. There are a lot of things that can go wrong with RViz and Gazebo,
so we make sure to reduce the risks.


###  Takeaways


You may wish to test the Navigation Stack in a different scene than those
packaged with Isaac AMR. To do so, you must first generate a new occupancy
map, then configure the Navigation Stack to use the new occupancy map.

If you have changed Collision Monitor’s default ` cmd_vel_in_topic  ` and `
cmd_vel_out_topic  ` configuration, make sure Velocity Smoother’s default
output topic ` cmd_vel_smoothed  ` should match to the input velocity `
cmd_vel_in_topic  ` parameter value of the Collision Monitor node, and the
output velocity ` cmd_vel_out_topic  ` parameter value should be actual `
cmd_vel  ` to fit the replacement.

Note

As the Collision Monitor acts as a safety node, it must be the last link in
the velocity message post-processing chain, making it the node that publishes
to the ` cmd_vel  ` topic. It could be placed after smoothed velocity, as in
our demonstration, or after non-smoothed velocity from Controller Server, e.g.
if Velocity Smoother was not enabled in the system, or going after any other
module in custom configuration producing the end-velocity. Therefore, in any
custom Nav2 launch configuration, the last node publishing to the ` cmd_vel  `
topic, should be remapped to publish to the Collision Monitor input topic
configured by ` cmd_vel_in_topic  ` ROS-parameter ( ` cmd_vel_smoothed  ` by
default).

Great, you now have a map, and everything setup so you can make the robot
navigate autonomously, while avoiding obstacles.


This will create a map file in your current directory called **jackal_world**
, which we will use in our [ AMCL ](http://wiki.ros.org/amcl) demo. Go ahead
and terminate all of the ROS terminals using CTRL-C. Then launch the simulator
once again, the AMCL demo with the map we just created, and Rviz with our
localization config, **all in separate terminals** . If you closed the
windows, youâll need to source your terminals again.


9. At any point, you can pause the simulation by clicking the **Pause** button in Isaac Sim. This will also pause the Navigation Stack . You can then click the **Play** button to resume simulation and navigation.

Topics


For the purpose of this demonstration, I recommend hiding the Robot Model and
Axes, and showing the Pose Array using the check boxes on the side. The red
arrows around Jackal are the poses Jackal could be, based on a Monte Carlo
localization estimate. This takes in scan data and transforms, and evaluates
that data against the map we recorded previously to try to determine where it
is within the Jackal world.


From the terminal run the Omniverse Isaac Sim container using the following
commands:

      * [ Important Docker Commands ](docker_dev.html


The planner is built on top of a 3D graph which consists of nodes in x,y and
time. The graph handles all the nearest neighbor searches, collision checks,
distance queries and other utility functions for the planner. The graph uses a
cost map of the environment to do its collision checks. The costmap inflates
all the obstacles in the occupancy grid map and also assigns some cost to
neutral motion to encourage planner to take the shortest paths. It also uses
cached trajectories of other robots while doing the collision checks so that
robots have collision free trajectories in time. The planner currently uses a
manhattan distance heuristic to estimate the cost to goal. All set and map
data structures are optimized using a custom 3D hash function and have an O(1)
lookup time. Priorities are currently assigned to the robots arbitrary before
planning and then planning is done sequentially. This is something that can be
improved! An interesting finding is about relative cost of waiting in time as
against moving. We found that if both moving as well as waiting have the same
cost, then A* almost always prefer moving than waiting which can lead to
suboptimal behavior. So as of now we have lower cost to waiting than moving
which gives us better paths leads to increased search times which is
undesirable. We found the paths to be very suboptimal in a 4 connected grid so
we use an 8 connected grid which gives very good results but obviously also
contributes to our increased search times.


Additionally, you should see a visualized circle with the subscript `
robot/goal  ` . This is the marker that represents the goal position of the
robot. If the goal position is not on top of the robot, you should also see a
visualized path starting at the robot and ending at the goal.

Isaac Sim can be run manually or via the Python API as part of an automated
workflow. If run manually, you will be presented with a GUI to control the
simulation and run the Navigation Stack. If run via Python, Isaac Sim can run
with a GUI or without a GUI (i.e. headless). For ease of use, the container
includes a Python script to load a robot into a scene at a specified initial
pose; this script is intended to run in parallel with the Navigation Stack,
with or without the Isaac Sim GUI. More complex functionality is enabled via
the Isaac Sim Python API, documented [ here
](https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/py/isaacsim/index.html) .
