# Battery-aware speed scaling configuration

ros__parameters:
# Update frequency (Hz)
frequency: 1 # 1 Hz is sufficient for battery monitoring
# Battery level thresholds (0.0 to 1.0 percentage)
# Below these thresholds, speed is reduced
critical_threshold: 0.20 # 20% - critical battery
warning_threshold: 0.50 # 50% - moderate discharge
# Speed scaling factors (0.0 to 1.0)
# Applied to max velocity when battery is below thresholds
full_scale: 1.0 # >= 50% battery: full speed
warning_scale: 0.7 # 20-50% battery: 70% speed
