ROS robot from start to finish (2) Improvement

In the previous article, the algorithm was sloppy:

​​​​​​ROS robot from the starting point to the end point (1) Simple P control

Can it be improved a bit? Refer to the following code:

		geometry_msgs::Twist vel_msg;
		vel_msg.angular.z = 4.0 * atan2(transform.getOrigin().y(),
				                        transform.getOrigin().x());
		vel_msg.linear.x = 0.5 * sqrt(pow(transform.getOrigin().x(), 2) +
				                      pow(transform.getOrigin().y(), 2));
		turtle_vel.publish(vel_msg);

---

Compared:

    vel_x=(goal_x-msg->x)/8.0;
    vel_z=(goal_y-msg->y)/40.0;

---

Revise:

vel_x = 1.0 * sqrt(pow((goal_x-msg->x), 2) + pow((goal_y-msg->y), 2));

vel_z = 4.0 * atan2((goal_y-msg->y), (goal_x-msg->x));

    vel_x = 1.0 * sqrt(pow((goal_x-msg->x), 2) + pow((goal_y-msg->y), 2));

    vel_z = 4.0 * atan2((goal_y-msg->y), (goal_x-msg->x));
}

How does it work? ? ?

Shocked, are you? ? ?

The 10.0 and 1.5 targets are indeed there, but?

The final accuracy is quite high! ! !

 

Can this magical move be tolerated?

You can change the parameters.
