Using follower only with hbz，The max velocity in X direction is only about 0.35m/s

[FProgrammerLIU]

hello.
when using follower only with hbz，a linear path with a step size of 0.2m, the max velocity in X direction is only about 0.35m/s, i try all the params, but without effect.
Hope to give me some reasons and suggestions, thanks so much.

Hi @FProgrammerLIU,

could you please set the logging level to DEBUG and check for output of the form

velocity: ____, vn: ____

to further debug this?
This is the desired velocity of the controller.

Other factors can slow down the robot as well, but that is hard to judge without further context:

• Are you using a simulator?
• How long are the paths you are testing?
• Are you using obstacle detection / collision avoidance? This can slow down the robot in the vicinity of obstacles.
• Is the maximum speed set close to 0.35m/s?
• Is the path short? Velocity control slows down the robot when it reaches the path endpoint.
