What problem does it solve?

Tuning the Nav2 controller server frequency to balance CPU load and ensure responsive, stable navigation across typical indoor robot deployments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Adjust the controller_frequency to achieve the desired trade-off between responsiveness and CPU usage for MPPI, DWB, or FollowPath controllers.
  • Tune ancillary parameters like costmap_update_timeout, failure_tolerance, and velocity thresholds to reduce latency, jitter, and false positives in goal attainment.
  • Provide diagnostic guidelines and example configurations for actionable debugging during nav tasks in real-world robots.

Quick Start

Set controller_frequency to 20 Hz and observe /controller_server diagnostics to confirm the control loop meets the target rate.
