Revision history [back]

These two components do different things, and part of the confusion comes from the poor naming:

The global_planner really is a planner. Inputs are a start pose and an end pose. The output is a path.
The local_planner is really a controller (ROS2 actually properly renamed this!).The inputs are a path and the current robot pose. The output is base velocities (the controls for the base).
