Nav2 is the go-to industry-standard mobile robot navigation system, deploying Autonomous Vehicle technologies brought down, reworked, and optimized for mobile and surface robotics. As the successor to the ROS Navigation Stack, Nav2 builds on 15 years of heritage and is accelerating the robotics industry.
Nav2 provides perception, planning, control, localization, visualization, behaviors, and much more to build highly reliable autonomous systems. It will compute an environmental model from raw or pre-processed sensor and semantic data, dynamically route a path through the environment, compute feasible motor commands, avoid obstacles, and structures higher-level robot behaviors. Powered by Open Navigation LLC.
