The cob_navigation repository provides configuration and launch files for running the navigation stack on the Fraunhofer IPA robots Care-O-bot and rob@work in a number of common configurations. For example, the cob_navigation_local package holds files that configure the move_base node to operate in an odometric frame, and the ’cob_mapping_slam’ package holds files that configure the robot for SLAM. These configuration files are intended for use as building blocks for applications that wish to use autonomous navigation as a component.

The naming of the packages as well as the documentation is kept close to the one of pr2_navigation for ease of use for experienced ROS users. However, changes are made to suit our needs.
