Test Obstacle Detection without Leaving my Chair

Posted: March 26, 2015

All of the bright colors are the graphical representation of ROS's "Local Planner". That is the part of the program that decides how to get from one place to another.

Making a map is one thing, but finding your way around an ever changing sea of obstacles is another.

Here I am simply testing whether the planner is detecting, marking and then clearing obstacles.
