Work description
Study and performance analysis of the ROS move_base free navigation module and respective plugins Study and analysis of the different trajectory generation mechanisms used in the context of free navigation, both based on models of the robot's environment and on information perceived by its sensors (global planner/local planner). Study and analysis of different controllers suitable for following free trajectories (trajectories defined by sequences of points and parametric curves). Development of trajectory tracking strategies that allow obstacles to be avoided, with this we aim for a solution that seeks the best of both worlds, taking advantage of the predictability of trajectory tracking and the flexibility of free navigation. Development of free navigation algorithms. Study and development of strategies for a centralized fusion capable of managing hybrid fleets of robots that use different navigation strategies, i.e. trajectory tracking and free navigation.
