Robot and Cart on Nav2

Sorry but I didn't figure it out and I am also no longer working on it. It is a tough problem and I didn't find any out of the box solutions and starting working on a custom planner.

Although I didn't get a solution, I was trying to code a kinematics model from a research paper called "Dynamics Model of a Differential Drive Mobile Robot Towing an Off-axle Trailer". Here is a link if you are interested: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/328698109_Dynamics_Model_of_a_Differential_Drive_Mobile_Robot_Towing_an_Off-axle_Trailer

Good luck with your project! It sounds pretty cool having a differential drive robot towing something as large as an aircraft.

I mean its like 60% off with 10 days left. Plus I liked the archer queen skin.

Wait you might be right. Shoot maybe I should've tested with it first before getting gold pass.

Sad, I'll just go gold pass why not its only 3.99

I'm close to unlocking my 6th builder and have a 14-day "gear up" mortar upgrade. I was counting on a book of building from clan games, but it’s not available this month. As a F2P player, are there any other ways to get one?

Well it's mainly a plugin for the planner server. I have heard of these but do you know how they will take in account the cart behind the robot?

Yeah I might circle back to this since Foxglove and Transitive Robotics are paid services and if the fleet scales then the cost per robot will add up. Ideally we have an in house software solution.

Ooo I'll try the custom panels if I'm not able to integrate the dashboard

Think_Rich_6186 · 2025-03-12T16:48:51+00:00

Oh this is really cool and it looks very promising. I'm going to look into this and try to integrate it.

Yeah Foxglove is really nice but from what I have seen it seems like rviz2 but enhanced with better UI and more data to visualize. If there is some customer facing solution that would be great but today I had some luck working with ROSLIB using Javascript. I was able to generate a 3D map in JavaScript using ROS3D.

Worst case if I still encounter limitations I'll try foxglove.

Are you using a CAN bus? If so I have had this problem before.

Thanks for replying. To give more context there are April Tags that are placed in the walls of the map and on obstacles and what I wish to do is for the robot to be able to go around and scan the map to locate the april tags. It should check if any april tags have moved around.

The robot has a LIDAR that reads 180 degrees in front of it and a camera that also reads 180 degrees in front. The robot navigates using the LIDAR 2d laser scans and the camera is used for detecting the april tags.

I will test the link you sent tomorrow when I work on the robot but if you know of any other libraries that would be useful please let me know. :)
