What problem does it solve?

The BackUp Recovery Behavior moves the robot backward by a specified distance at a controlled speed to escape tight spaces and free it when forward motion cannot. It helps prevent collisions during retreat and is commonly used as part of a larger recovery sequence.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Controlled retreat: backs up a configurable distance at a safe speed to avoid collisions.
  • Rear clearance awareness: uses the footprint projection and local costmap checks to ensure the path behind the robot is clear.
  • BT integration: easily combines with other behaviors (Wait, Spin) in a recovery pattern.

Quick Start

Configure a BackUp action in your behavior tree to back up 0.20 m at 0.05 m/s when the robot is stuck.
