Overview

Expert skill for configuring and customizing the ROS2 Nav2 navigation stack, including behavior trees, costmaps, planners, and controllers.

Capabilities

Configure Nav2 navigation stack with all plugins
Create behavior trees for navigation logic
Set up costmap layers (static, obstacle, inflation, voxel)
Configure planners (NavFn, Smac, ThetaStar)
Set up controllers (DWB, Regulated Pure Pursuit, MPPI)
Implement recovery behaviors (spin, backup, wait)
Configure waypoint following and route planning
Set up navigation server lifecycle management
Implement custom BT nodes and plugins
Debug navigation failures and path planning issues
