Documentation

The MRRP uses a prioritized planning approach to find the robots routes. Additionally, there are a Priority and a Speed Rescheduler as well as a Collision resolver integrated to solve special scenarios not solvable by standard prioritized planning approaches as shown in the figure below.

Figure Sample Scenarios

The route can be used for multiple vehicles or for just one to plan paths on a given or generated graph.

Multi Robot Mode

The Multi Robot Mode is the default mode. The planner listens to /robot_info see how many robots are online and available for planning. A list of goals can be send to goal Since the results generated for these scenarios are interdependent, the given routes have to be executed in a synchronized fashion. Therefore, the Router publishes a tuw_multi_robot_msgs/Route containing preconditions, when a robot is allowed to enter a segment. Additionally a unsynchronized version via nav_msgs/Path is published for every robot.

Single Robot Mode

In this mode the planner just plans a path for one robot but on a graph which is faster and depending how the graph was generated saver to drive e.g. on a voronoi graph the path would always be center in the hallway and not cut corners such as A-star. In order to activae this mode have a look on the paramter path_endpoint_optimization and robot_name.

Example

For an example see the tuw_multi_robot_demo package.
