hello,

you better start reading navigation tutorials

if you need something that simple you can write your own code. just subscribe your laser scan messages, put a threshold value (i.e 50 cm close to an object ) then send velocity commands or position commands to your robot's motor drivers. if you are not familiar with ros, you can start from here

hope this helps you out
