Is the JSK/TUM code to use an elevator and navigate on multiple floors available anywhere?

I am a developer of navigation system with taking elevators in JSK.

The codes are in jsk-ros-pkg (http://jsk-ros-pkg.svn.sourceforge.net/), and the main package is elevator_move_base_pr2. We are using Euslisp programming language for describing procedure of taking elevator and geometrical elevator call button models.

And navigating between multiple maps, we have to change grid map in move_base and amcl. These scripts are in jsk_maps package.

Thank you! In case anyone else is looking, the package multi_map_server is under the jsk_ros_patch folder.

Thanks to sourceforge weirdness, one needs to look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/jsk-ros-pkg/ and then the tab "Code", not the tab "Files".

Looks like the jsk code repo has moved to github.

I am not exactly sure which code you mean, but my colleague Lars Kunze (TUM) recently did an internship at JSK and was involved in the Subway-Sandwich-Demo that involved an elevator. I´m pretty sure, he can help you...

Although it's not the JSK/TUM code, Eitan Marder-Eppstein, Kurt Konolige, and Bhaskara Marthi cover this topic in their paper. There is an implementation of this here.

That paper seems to only mention the possibility of using it for multi-floor navigation, specifically for parking garages, where you have ramps that go from floor to floor.
