wavefront player

The wavefront_player node provides global planning and local control of a laser-equipped robot moving in 2-D, given a map.

Theory of operation

Under the hood, we're using the wavefront driver from Player. It implements the standard wavefront algorithm, using dynamic programming to find the lowest cost path on a grid. The robot is assumed to be circular.
