The teb_local_planner package implements a plugin to the base_local_planner of the 2D navigation stack. The underlying method called Timed Elastic Band locally optimizes the robot's trajectory with respect to trajectory execution time, separation from obstacles and compliance with kinodynamic constraints at runtime.
Refer to http://wiki.ros.org/teb_local_planner for more information and tutorials.
Build status of the melodic-devel branch:
- ROS Buildfarm (Melodic):
This branch is the teb_local_planner package ported to ROS2(Dashing Diademata). Currently, it is currently compatible with Navigation2(master branch)(226f06c). You can test teb_local_planner with Navigation2 and TurtleBot3 simulation by launching the following command.
ros2 launch teb_local_planner teb_tb3_simulation_launch.py
Since a lot of time and effort has gone into the development, please cite at least one of the following publications if you are using the planner for your own research:

The left of the following videos presents features of the package and shows examples from simulation and real robot situations. Some spoken explanations are included in the audio track of the video. The right one demonstrates features introduced in version 0.2 (supporting car-like robots and costmap conversion). Please watch the left one first.
