What it does

ALNavigation API allows the user to perform safe displacements when using the robot.

NAO

The robot cannot yet avoid obstacles, but it is able to move cautiously, stopping as soon as an obstacle enters its security zone.

Pepper only

Pepper may also use the ALNavigation API in several modes:

• Obstacle avoidance with the ALNavigationProxy::navigateTo method;
• Safe trajectory execution with the ALNavigationProxy::moveAlong method.
• Finding free space (to perform a show for example) ALNavigationProxy::findFreeZone

How it works

Pepper only

While moving, the robot tries to detect obstacles in its move direction, using all its sensors.
