ArduPilot & ROS for Object Avoidance in Auto

This video demonstrates how ArduPilot Rover can use ROS's path planning to avoid obstacles during Auto mode. When GUIDED_ENABLED commands are executed, ArduPilot sends the target position to ROS and then ROS sends back low-level velocity commands that ArduPilot executes.

I've got a different solution: attach an RPG that will shoot grenades at the obstacles

Hi Randy, i show your videos often and i come back to you for Leds of pixhawk (clone ) All were ok but today i don't understand why my pixhawk doesn't run normally..i explain.. i plug battery and Leds I/O PWR and FMU Power are green fixed, then I/O B/E is yellox fixed but FMU B/E is yellow blinking very rapidly, then I/O ACT is blue blinking normally ( about once per 1/2 second )...do you have an idea, please...?
TRhank's a lot and happy fly

Hey Randy, do you happen to know any information with issues of setting the region of interest for Pixhawk2.1?

I believe you have provided a pseudo location ("Set Home Here" renamed as "Set EKF Origin"), and the rover is operating in a situation where GPS signals are not available. I would like to know if this scenario is feasible when GPS is enabled. In other words, I should be able to input waypoints using Mission Planner, and the rover should navigate to those waypoints while employing SLAM and obstacle avoidance through ROS. Essentially, the goal is for ROS to have access to these waypoints provided by Mission Planner, and perform path planning while taking into account obstacles along its intended path.

interesting.... so if i build a lifesize dalek i can send it to the shop for candy?

Why is it spinning around? Doesn't the lidar do that for you?
