Revision history [back]

I had a look at this http://www.hessmer.org/blog/2011/04/24/using-the-ros-navigation-stack/ for a real robot to look at that was set up using the navigation stack. I have also got the Navigation stack working with the hokuyo_node and the SLAM package as well if you need more information Ill post more here like .launch files and the such. Dr. Hessmer's Blog is useful for understanding the navigation package as well as he provides all of his code, just make sure to check out the right revision. If you are not using an arduino then you will have to change how you get your odometery and tf for the odom, but other than that its pretty straight forward. I also had issues looking at the tutorials and doing the Nav stack, and this helped a lot. It does not however integrate gazebo.

Enjoy, -Drew
