Hi,

When I set the resolution parameter in global_costmap_params.yaml to different values (for instance 2.0) in my navigation package, I expect to get waypoints from the global planner on /move_base/NavfnROS/plan that are 2m apart, but this does not seem to be happening. My map resolution is 0.05, and the resolution parameter in local_costmap_params.yaml is also set to 0.05.

Here are some sequential sample points I get from the global planner:

    x: 0.730995153353
    y: -4.30375223612
    z: 0.0

    x: 0.740522741385
    y: -4.32686625014
    z: 0.0

    x: 0.750001501292
    y: -4.3499985747
    z: 0.0

    x: 0.800001502037
    y: -4.39999857545
    z: 0.0

    x: 0.81506729126
    y: -4.3626947403
    z: 0.0

I am confused. You say your resolution is both 2.0 and 0.05. Which is it?

@David Lu, Initially the resolution parameter in map.yaml, global_costmap_params.yaml, and local_costmap_params.yaml was set to 0.05 . Since I intended to increase the distance between the waypoints generated by global planner, I only changed the resolution in global_costmap_params.yaml to 2

Thanks. How can I change the actual resolution of my costmap? by changing the resolution of the png map?

Yes. That is correct.

So If I want to get the Global Planner to generate waypoints with a distance of 2.0m from each other, then the only way is to have a png map at 2.0 m/pix as input?

With the current planner, yes. Or don't use the static map.

What's the alternative beside static map?

ROSCMBOT ( 2014-11-25 10:16:24 -0600 )edit

Big empty map.

Thanks for the info. So the resolution of the costmaps (global and local) is always the same as that of the static map, right?

ROSCMBOT ( 2014-11-25 10:55:45 -0600 )edit

Yes indeed.
