The ROS Navigation Stack, a 2D navigation system for mobile robots that consumes odometry, sensor streams, and a goal pose, and outputs safe velocity commands for a mobile base. It provides localization and path planning capabilities as a core component of the Robot Operating System ecosystem.
Use cases
- navigate a mobile robot to a goal pose
- localize a robot using odometry and sensor data
- plan collision-free paths for a wheeled robot
- send velocity commands to a robot base
- build a 2D costmap from laser scans
- autonomous indoor robot navigation
When to choose
- you are building a mobile robot on ROS and need localization and path planning
- you want a battle-tested 2D navigation stack with community support
- your robot uses standard ROS sensor streams like laser scans and odometry
When to avoid
- you need 3D navigation or aerial/legged robot planning
- you are not using ROS or the robot runs on non-Linux platforms
- you need a fully supported commercial license, since the repo has no explicit license
