What it does

  • Rmf_task provides abstract interfaces for tasks, including booking, description, model and active execution components.
  • Rmf_task includes a task planner that allocates requested tasks among fleet robots to minimise completion durations.
  • The planner accounts for robot resource constraints such as battery level and inserts recharging tasks when needed.
  • Rmf_task_sequence implements tasks as ordered phases made of events such as GoToPlace, PickUp, DropOff, WaitFor and PerformAction.
  • Composed tasks are submitted as JSON payloads whose schemas are defined in rmf_api_msgs and rmf_ros2.
  • Users can define how a robot reacts to cancellation or interruption at each phase.

Robots that can run it

No robot on Robotheca is linked to it yet. Links come from a robot's robot.yaml, from its dependency files read as text, or from Robotheca's editors.

Robotheca lists software as a reference: nothing is hosted or run here, and every fact links to where it was read.
