What it does

  • Supports many environment models, including 2D costmaps, elevation-aware gridmaps, Octomap 3D representations, raw point clouds and hybrids.
  • Designed for real-time operation, minimizing latency between perception and action.
  • Uses a plugin architecture and reusable navigation stacks.
  • Deploys as a single binary configured through a parameter file.
  • Includes PlayGrounds: Gazebo simulations with ready-to-run configurations for Kobuki, Summit XL, TIAGo and omnidirectional robots.
  • Core repository provides the navigation core, plugin management and runtime execution; other repositories supply plugins, maps and gridmap stacks.
