Let me begin by saying that I have done my obligatory "google-ing" and I know there has been discussion, but I have not found a satisfactory answer and therefore I am asking here ...
I am trying to come up with a solution for path planning for a large, custom UGV (essentially a drive-by-wire utility vehicle). I understand that the ros nav packages generally do not support "Ackermann steering" vehicles. I would like to solicit opinions on how I should proceed, here are a couple paths forward that I can see ...
1) Write custom base_local_planner and base_global_planners which take into account the kinematic constraints of an Ackermann steering vehicle
2) Use a library like MoveIt (is this even possible?)
3) Start from scratch and ditch move_base and everything inside
I see blog posts and such of people using ROS on their steered vehicles, but the documentation of such systems seems to be lacking. Any advice would be well appreciated!
