Hi all, its your friendly neighborhood navigator here.
Right before the start of the holidays, the team over at Samsung Research completed our First-Time Setup Guide to help counsel new users starting from ground-zero through getting their first navigation tasks completed. A huge thanks for the support from the team at Samsung Research Philippines who put this all together!
This includes:
- Setting Up Transformations
- Setting Up The URDF
- Setting Up Odometry
- Setting Up Sensors
- Setting Up the Robot’s Footprint
- Setting Up Navigation Plugins
- Setting Up Lifecycle and Composition Nodes
This will get you from nothing to some basic robot functioning with the defaults beyond core necessities (e.g. footprint, sensor sources, odometry, etc) which the guide will help guide you through. See our extensive configuration guide (Configuration Guide — Navigation 2 1.0.0 documentation) for refining the system!
You can find all this (and more!) on our Nav2 documentation website:

Happy setting up,
Steve
