What kind of vehicles is the path planning written for?

Hi,
I'm wondering if the navigation and path planning is applicable for a front steering chassis with higher turn radius? Is this navigation package written for a special kind of robot or is it universal?
Kind regards.

The path planning in nav2d_navigator is currently suited for holonomic robots with a nearly circular footprint only. It uses a simple grid-based shortest path algorithm and follows this path as good as possible. For a front steering chassis you need a more sophisticated path planner like sbpl.

Ok, thank you for the answer.
