This repository contains the ROS package for controlling the OpenMower.

TODO: Add installation instructions here

Hint: To install dependencies, run the following:

rosdep install --ignore-src open_mower

This will ignore local packages (since they are not yet available in the ROS index).

• For local navigation, I have tried to use the teb_local_planner. Unfortunately, it seems that (at least for me) the noetic version is VERY broken. Therefore I added the current melodic dev version as git submodule to this repo. It seems to work fine with ROS noetic and this setup here.
• If the map has no docking point set, planning crashes as soon as we try to approach the docking point. TODO: check, before even starting to mow.
