VirtuLayer - A GUI for Nav2 Virtual Layer Plugin

[Sherif_Fathey]

I’d like to share VirtuLayer, a web-based GUI I developed to simplify the configuration and usage of my Virtual Layer Plugin for Nav2.

The Virtual Layer Plugin can be used to add virtual geometries to the Nav2 costmap. VirtuLayer provides a visual interface for creating these geometries on a map and generating the configuration required by the plugin.

The idea is to avoid manually defining the geometries and configuration, and instead provide a simple visual workflow for creating and experimenting with virtual layers.

Live Demo:

The Virtual Layer Plugin is available in the Nav2 Plugins documentation under Virtual Layer:

Navigation Plugins — Nav2 1.0.0 documentation

I’d be interested to hear feedback .

Good work and well done . How does virtulayer talk to the running Nav2 stack , does it read live costmap/map server output , or work off static map file ?

Thanks! VirtuLayer is a web-based GUI that works with a static map file to create/configure the virtual geometrie
