If it would help, I can write some of this. Is there a home for a velocity smoother in Nav2, either as a tutorial, or a full implementation? Would be nice actually to have that abstracted architecturally. sphinx.ros indigo Packages. Regularity of the intervals? nav2-amcl. Simply nav2_velocity_smoother? While we make it possible to specify these separately, most users would be wise to set these values the same (but signed) for rotation. There is another folder called nav2_smoother. (1) would be setting the new_{velocity, acceleration, pose} from the output as the input of the next iteration. An area I could see ruckig being really nice for is if we had a post-trajectory planning step to take trajectories from local planners and smoothed them out using ruckig. Though in doing so, I don't think its reasonable to try to limit jerk if our own inputs and outputs are just Twist and Odometry, we don't have any acceleration information, let alone jerk. I think its a fabulous idea for us to have a reference on in Nav2. I know it would be a near total rewrite regardless of what you've done so far, so I just want to bring it up, but it is not a requirement to use it. I think the big thing would be to look over the other methods and make sure this is the "best" of them or if there are features the others have, we adopt those into the port (e.g. I dont think you need a separation between positive and negative velocities. Traditionally in the ROS navigation ecosystem, we've just taken some $v_i$ and used basic kinematics to find the guard rails of $v_{min}$ and $v_{max}$ based on the set acceleration min/max and threshold it. I'll keep this tool in my back pocket though. ROS navigation stack with velocity . Thusly, it takes in a command via the cmd_vel topic and produces a smoothed output on smoothed_cmd_vel. In the other implementations, I also see an approach where the smoother has his own timer (and thus his own publish rate). we assume the last timestep we met the required state and so we can store the last iteration's velocity/acceleration/jerk to use as the "current" in the next timestep). I like the idea of off-boarding as much as I can to external libraries, especially if they're used elsewhere in the ecosystem. Moreover, smoothly interpolating by having a higher rate is the best reason for having it that way. This is honestly a nice, compact project for a student or company that had a need for such a thing and wanted to help make the contribution. I.e. I was thinking to listen to the original cmd_vel topic and in the callback immediately publish the smoothed version. It applies limits to linear and angular components of both speed and acceleration. Deadband velocities are minimum thresholds, below which we set its value to 0. Maximum acceleration to apply to each axis [x, y, theta]. I don't actually understand the difference between the 2 methods you mentioned, can you elaborate on the second point? Thanks @AndyZe for the information and help! Should I put it in its own package or add it to an existing one? This module plans a velocity profile within the limitations of the velocity, the acceleration and the jerk to realize both the maximization of velocity and the ride quality. Its still in development and incomplete. We strive to be the Pub "where everybody knows your name.". Have a question about this project? I don't actually understand the difference between the 2 methods you mentioned, can you elaborate on the second point? The diagram below will give you a good first-look at the structure of Nav2. Setting the update rate to roughly the same as the trajectory planner rate (thing making, Setting the update rate to higher than the controller rate, so 1 velocity command in =. There can be a timer-based check to see if there are messages coming in or not. Yeah Jerk Limiting is important for us, although not as important as the deadband issue. It could be a simple Euler calculation like accel = v(i+1) - v(i) / delta_t, Filter from beginning to end with a low-pass filter, Then filter from end to beginning with the same filter, To filter forwards then backwards removes the phase delay from filtering. --> however, it does work if we do open loop feedback (e.g. abb; abb_driver; abb_irb2400_moveit_config; abb_irb2400_moveit_plugins This package was created to do the following: This is a lifecycle-component node, using the lifecycle manager for state management and composition for process management. I don't think so). Is jerk limiting important to you? Since we have a constant stream of these cmd_vel's coming out of the trajectory planner at a relatively consistent rate (and with algorithms that pre-apply varying levels of feasibility constraints) the target setpoint for the velocity is constantly changing but we don't know what the future holds to be able to meaningfully set target acceleration setpoints. In the three implementations mentioned above I only see speed limits and acceleration limits. That would be fine to do, so you could make some functions that take in the min/max values (or probably a struct containing them) and then pass in each axis into them separately to smooth independently. I haven't taken a look at this yet, but I did want to point you to ruckig that's being used in #2816. X, Y, Theta), Smooth velocities proportionally in the same direction as commanded, whenever possible within kinematic limits, Provide open loop and closed loop options, Component nodes for use in single-process systems and stand-alone node format. The commanded velocities looks at the previous cmd_vel that was send and assumes that the robot follows these commands. ROS 2 package for smoothing commanded velocities represented by a stream of geometry_msg/msg/Twist messages. <!--. Feed the "nominal target state" from the previous iteration as current state input for the next iteration. In my use case, I do not think multiple deadbands would have been needed. Feed the previous Ruckig output state as current state input for the next iteration. support omni). If you end up numerically differentiating, here's a decent way to do it: it does work if we do open loop feedback (e.g. I just noticed I missed the tags here when my input was requested for Jerk. plotting the cmd_vel shows the linear x jumping between +0.5 and -0.xx. I think it makes sense to add jerk limiting to the trajectory planners perhaps to get around this situation, so that way the computed trajectories generating the commands are limited by it so that the velocity smoother doesn't require to do it -- and then its based on theoretical models and not actual current sensor data so you can differentiate it to your heart's desire. My intuition says that won't work very well. . Could someone give me some feedback on this code for this issue? I will try to finish it this weekend and make a PR. Another question: what is the logical way to have this node running? Is this behavior ok? I'm not sure the best way off hand to deal with a maximum velocity that is higher than that of the sum of the components. Nice to know other smart people than me also had to think twice if it was worth going into that level of detail . Code is at: https://github.com/wilcobonestroo/navigation2/tree/add-velocity-smoother, Awesome! I think it makes sense to at least have the options for odom and for commanded velocities as input. I certainly wouldn't mind adding it, but I would suspect the data in most mobile robot motors is too noisy at the speeds we run at to be meaningfully smoothed to a 3rd derivative. E.g. to your account. See the Navigation Plugin list for a list of the currently known and available smoother plugins. I'm also now thinking if, for illustration purposes, we had a trajectory planner giving us a cmd_vel at 1hz and we have a smoother at 100hz. @wilcobonestroo can you put in a pr? How do we set the target acceleration when given an input twist, or should we? privacy statement. . Moreover, I did not include the deadband yet and I dont know how (or where) to write the documentation. Its being used in MoveIt2 and likely to be added to RPP so if we do other kinematics "stuff" it might be good to use to be consistent with other ecosystem projects. | privacy, https://github.com/ros-planning/navigation2.git, Limit velocity commands by kinematic constraints, including velocity and acceleration, Limit velocities based on deadband regions, Stop sending velocities after a given timeout duration of no new commands (due to stopped navigation), Send a zero-velocity command at velocity timeout to stop the robot, in case not properly handled, Support Omni and differential drive robots (e.g. Maximum velocities (m/s) in [x, y, theta] axes. Also tried apt search ros-humble-nav2 | grep velocity on my host machine with no luck. Non-SPDX License, Build not available. @AndyZe over at PickNik is using Ruckig for MoveIt2, maybe he has some thoughts to share? For setting the current acceleration / jerk, I suppose we could set them all to 0 across the board and then the trajectory generated would assume the extremes for starting/stopping the trajectory. This is in contrast to simply computing a smoothed velocity command in the callback of each cmd_vel input from Nav2. The aim of this package is to implement velocity, acceleration, and deadband smoothing from Nav2 to reduce wear-and-tear on robot motors and hardware controllers by smoothing out the accelerations/jerky movements that might be present with some local trajectory planners' control efforts. I think from my current looking, ruckig is not the best choice for us unfortunately for this project which I'm disappointed by since it looks like it could really streamline some things. The Nav2 smoother is a Task Server in Nav2 that implements the nav2_behavior_tree::SmoothPath interface. I don't have any magic answers but it sounds like you're asking the right questions. This provides a more regular stream of commands to a robot base and interpolates commands between the current velocity and the desired velocity more finely for smoother acceleration / motion profiles. Options to look at for porting / listing features to get the best of all worlds. I know this is a usual need for manipulation and high-speed driving. I assumed that I would always get a continuous stream of cmd_vel messages. For the second case, generating a true trajectory sounds awesome so that we can get an optimal profile to work with. I don't think this is an issue because the velocity smoother is being applied to the commanded velocities, not the measured ones from the robot. Typically: if you have low rate odometry, you should use open-loop mode or set the smoothing frequency relatively similar to that of your cmd_vel topic. This will try to adjust all components to follow the same direction, but still enforces acceleration limits to guarantee compliance, even if it means deviating off commanded trajectory slightly. This is signed and thus these should generally all be negative. Already on GitHub? That would get around the numerical differentiation of odometry for closed loop feedback, but then would we be unable to support closed loop feedback? Frequency (Hz) to use the last received velocity command to smooth by velocity, acceleration, and deadband constraints. You signed in with another tab or window. This will be used to determine the robot's current velocity and therefore achievable velocity targets by the velocity, acceleration, and deadband constraints using live data. See inline description of parameters in the VelocitySmoother. Sign in Using the deceleration constraints you need to make it stop slowly. In OPEN_LOOP, it will use the last commanded velocity as the next iterations current velocity. Sign up for a free GitHub account to open an issue and contact its maintainers and the community. There are two primary operation modes: open and closed loop. Time (s) to buffer odometry commands to estimate the robot speed, if in CLOSED_LOOP operational mode. However, I think it would be really interesting to see if we could use ruckig in the trajectory planners or smoothers to work with theoretical trajectories being generated versus involvement of real data. Sign up for a free GitHub account to open an issue and contact its maintainers and the community. There can be a timer-based check to see if there are messages coming in or not. Yeah, but I'd test with setting the max accels to something lower to see what happens if those little variations are invalid (so it should be smoothed out). The deadband issue was inspired by issues we were fighting with RPP on a robot. In the three implementations mentioned above I only see speed limits and acceleration limits. @vinnnyr Can you describe some use cases or scenarios where you use the deadband issue? So, in theory you can have a total combined linear speed larger than the max linear speed (e.g. I think we can add jerk limits as an option. I feel like this shouldn't be a technology mismatch, but might end up being. Already on GitHub? Navigation assumes instantaneous response, so the closer to that we can give, the better performance of tracking would be. The code is mostly ready to be used in galactic, I only had to do some minor modifications to have it working. Velocity message that arrive are cached and processed at the speed of the internal timer. Updated: Dec 1, 2022 / 08:22 PM MST. I would suspect the data in most mobile robot motors is too noisy at the speeds we run at to be meaningfully smoothed to a 3rd derivative. While this is not required, it is a nice design feature. to your account, These are being run in a Docker container (however, doesn't matter). When in doubt, open-loop is a reasonable choice for most users. Well occasionally send you account related emails. Feel free to poke me if I can be helpful on the moveit side. I'm not sure what (2) entails. We don't have access to that information reliably unless we numerically differentiate the odometry which is unstable for closed-loop feedback. This is smoothing out the values, which I agree would be helpful to enforce the constraints. Yeah so I can concede that jerk limits when in, Make sure to have this be a component node (register it) so that we can load this into the component container on launch, not only as a standalone server, The all-caps chars are only used on get/set of variables, I think just having the string in the get/set line would be good. So, I was thinking in the direction of reacting to incoming Twist messages on cmd_vel. Where loop 2 onwards, we were stuck at commanding a velocity the robot would have never been able to move. Kobuki Velocity Smoother [][][][][About. Purpose. I started working on the boilerplate code and reading the parameters: https://github.com/wilcobonestroo/navigation2/tree/add-velocity-smoother. Currently, it is almost following the noisy behavior of the input, because this is within the acceleration limits. nav2_velocity_smoother sounds good to me! Well occasionally send you account related emails. If we added some machine learning or heavy sampling based trajectory planners, I think ruckig would really shine. Well another thing to point out is that these all assume independent X, Y, and Theta velocity channels. I don't think that should be the default behavior but I'd be fine with that a parameterized option. Maybe the velocity differentiation part and/or the Ruckig part itself. It's really helped. @wilcobonestroo what do you think about that? Update: Yes, this should be resolved after next sync, Nav2-velocity-smoother not found as binary. The velocity smoother in the version of Regulated Pure Pursuit (RPP) was in odometry mode. I think it only adds latency in the messages and more complexity in the code. Setting the update rate to higher than the controller rate, so 1 velocity command in = N velocity commands out, somewhat applying a smoothing trajectory since each dt its called will update the velocity towards the commanded velocity by the acceleration profile. In the meanwhile, odom messages can be cached to determine the best odom estimate once a Twist message arrives. If you have high rate odometry, you can use closed-loop mode with a higher smoothing frequency since you'll have more up to date information to smooth based off of. See the packages README for more information. What do you think? After the bulk is in place, adding a couple new parameters and a new constraint would be a trivial PR to review and merge. @SteveMacenski , @AlexeyMerzlyakov or @padhupradheep? So for closed-loop set them all to 0-s since we can't estimate them reliably? Sign in (PALMER LAKE, Colo.) The Palmer Lake Police Department (PLPD) arrested a man on Thursday, Dec. 1 for making a credible threat to occupants of a commercial . With the idea that these kind of things should be handled by a downstream velocity smoother anyways. That helps understanding the deadband issue So there should probably be several options for the behavior in the band. Depending on your top speed and the simulation time used for the DWB controller, you will almost certainly need a larger map if your robot is faster than a turtlebot3. Some only handle X, one of the things to make sure is that it supports omni robots in the Y velocity / acceleration direction. As well. --> I'm thinking the latter, which might then argue against using any kind of trajectory libraries, since we would want to use the full limits available to us vs moving below it to use the full time available (is that an option in ruckig? The aim of this package is to implement velocity, acceleration, and deadband smoothing from Nav2 to reduce wear-and-tear on robot motors and hardware controllers by smoothing out the accelerations/jerky movements that might be present with some local trajectory planners control efforts. The cob_base_velocity_smoother package provides two implementations for a velocity smoother that both read velocity messages (geometry_msgs::Twist) and then publish messages of the same type for "smoothed" velocity to avoid jerky behavior. You signed in with another tab or window. What should be the behavior at the top? Do you have any suggestions of options or techniques? Type of feedback to use for the current state of the robots velocity. If set much higher, it will interpolate and provide a smooth set of commands to the hardware controller. It looks like they all do that in one way or another (timer, while loop, etc). https://github.com/yujinrobot/yujin_ocs/tree/devel/yocs_velocity_smoother this is what I've used in previous projects in ROS 1, but not sure if this or another (better) version is available in ROS 2. By default, the turtlebot3 configuration uses a 3x3 meter costmap, which is pretty small. I have to remove some buffering code. We call this module motion_velocity_smoother because the limitations of the . Would we rather smoothly and slowly, below the kinematic limits of the robot's acceleration, wait the full 1s to get to the target speed, or get there as quickly as possible and maintain state. However we want to (1) use the maximum kinematic limits possible to achieve velocities ASAP and maintain them vs using the full time allotted and (2) be able to proportionately bound the velocities of the axes so that we maintain the same (or as similar as possible) commanded direction. What should be the behavior at the top? You have target_state (i) at iteration i. We can certainly set limits on acceleration manually (e.g. I think this is a good idea. They all appear to be derivative though, so not much difference between them (at first glance). rosvelocity smoother. #2631 will remove acceleration / deceleration limits from RPP due to some issues. Also, adding in a "if no command after X time, send 0" in case there's poorly implemented robot base controllers without timeout sequences. In CLOSED_LOOP, it will use the odometry from the odom topic to estimate the robots current speed. I think the motion will be slower than you expect. The aim of this package is to implement velocity, acceleration, and deadband smoothing from Nav2 to reduce wear-and-tear on robot motors and hardware controllers by smoothing out the accelerations/jerky movements that might be present with some local trajectory planners' control efforts. A smoothing module implementing the nav2_behavior_tree::SmoothPath interface is responsible for improving path smoothness and/or quality, typically given an unsmoothed path from the planner module in nav2_planner. Minimum acceleration to apply to each axis [x, y, theta]. We would give RPP a reasonable acceleration limit, but since that robot did not have a lot of control regime in the low end of velocity inputs, getting the robot to start would be tough. ros-humble-nav2-velocity-smoother_1.1.2-1jammy.20221019.170612_amd64.deb: 2022-10-19 17:09 : 122K : ros-humble-nav2-velocity-smoother_1.1.2-1jammy.20221019.171440_arm64.deb: 2022-10-19 17:18 : 113K : ros-humble-nav2-velocity-smoother_1.1.2-1jammy.debian.tar.xz: 2022-08-25 13:24 : 2.0K : ros-humble-nav2-velocity-smoother_1.1.2-1jammy.dsc: 2022 . There doesn't seem to be any jerk limitation. There's also pass_to_input method that appears in the demos but never in the documentation that you could see in my branch I have open questions around precisely its nature (which might be what you're referring to). See its Configuration Guide Page for additional parameter descriptions. Package Summary Released Continuous Integration Documented Bound incoming velocity messages according to robot velocity and acceleration limits. motion_velocity_smoother outputs a desired velocity profile on a reference trajectory. privacy statement. I can also do something like this with a buffer for the cmd_vel messages. So that it can be run at a faster rate than local trajectory planner is executing at in order to have a smooth interpolation to "ramp" commands by the regular interval samples? Do you think we should include jerk for the commanded velocity mode? Then I can take a look :)! I will say though the few examples of 3D velocity smoothers have removed that feature which is telling. Small correction here: Ruckig doesn't care what the current jerk of the robot is. I don't see the benefits of this. Minimum velocities (m/s) in [x, y, theta] axes. The ramp-up and ramp-down seem ok to me. | privacy, https://github.com/ros-planning/navigation2.git. Is there one band or multiple? The 1hz / 100hz is a drastic example, a more typical set up would be 20-50hz / 20-100hz, so the results would be significantly less noticable. Ps. I have some initial smoothing attempts going on , they treat the x and y as independent things to control. Do you think we should stick to ruckig? when both x and y are at their max). My problem is, I have no idea where things go in the Nav2 codebase. By clicking Sign up for GitHub, you agree to our terms of service and See branch: https://github.com/ros-planning/navigation2/tree/vel_smoother. In theory you won't have to take 3rd derivatives of noisy mobile base motor data, or am I missing something? Actually, that should be more or less what you show with the buffer. Between me, @AlexeyMerzlyakov and @padhupradheep, you've got resources. #2964 is ready for testing if folks want to kick the tires! Currently, it is almost following the noisy behavior of the input, because this is within the acceleration limits. @vinnnyr what are your thoughts on jerk limiting, how are you measuring acceleration so that you wouldn't be double differentiating noisy velocity data? I think there's some natural synergies here to use that for this work potentially. Update: Yes, this should be resolved after next sync. It was built by Steve Macenski while at Samsung Research. The aim of this package is to implement velocity, acceleration, and deadband smoothing from Nav2 to reduce wear-and-tear on robot motors and hardware controllers by smoothing out the accelerations/jerky movements that might be present with some local trajectory planners' control efforts.
