Iron to Jazzy

This list summarizes the changes between Iron (previous) and Jazzy (current) releases.

admittance_controller

  • Remove robot_description parameter from parameter YAML, because it is not used at all (#963).

diff_drive_controller

  • The twist message on ~/cmd_vel is now required to be of stamped type (#812).

  • Remove unused parameter wheels_per_side (#958).

joint_trajectory_controller

  • Parameter allow_nonzero_velocity_at_trajectory_end is now per default false (#834).

  • Activate update of dynamic parameters (#761 and #849).

  • The parameter start_with_holding is removed, it now always holds the position at activation (#839).

  • Continue with last trajectory-point on success, instead of hold-position from current state (#842).

  • Add console output for tolerance checks (#932):

    [tolerances]: State tolerances failed for joint 2:
[tolerances]: Position Error: 0.020046, Position Tolerance: 0.010000
[trajectory_controllers]: Aborted due goal_time_tolerance exceeding by 1.010000 seconds

  • Goals are now cancelled in on_deactivate transition (#962).

  • Empty trajectory messages are discarded (#902).

  • Action field error_string is now filled with meaningful strings (#887).

  • Angle wraparound behavior (continuous joints) was added from the current state to the first segment of the incoming trajectory (#796).

  • The URDF is now parsed for continuous joints and angle wraparound is automatically activated now (#949).

  • 🚀 The PID controller was added 🎉 (#434).

steering_controllers_library

  • Changing default int values to double in steering controller’s yaml file. The controllers should now initialize successfully without specifying these parameters (#927).
