Path Planning

What is Path Planning?

Once the terrain is mapped and the robot knows where it is, a target and an instruction on where to go is given to the robot. This process is called path planning.

Move_base

In path planning, the components and nodes provided by the ROS package itself are called Move_base. The most important point of Move_base is to move from the current position to the target position.

Essentially, Move_base is an action type where it receives a topic, performs an action suitable for that topic, and sends the topic again.
