ROSPlan Framework

The main ROSPlan website and documentation is available here.

The ROSPlan framework provides a generic method for task planning in a ROS system. ROSPlan encapsulates both planning and dispatch. It provides with a simple interface, and already includes interfaces to common ROS libraries.

ROSPlan Demos:

Several demos are available in the rosplan_demos repository. More will be added over time.

mkdir -p ROSPlan/src
cd ROSPlan/

Get the code:

cd src/
git clone https://github.com/KCL-Planning/rosplan

Compile everything:

This demo has been migrated to a separate repo, please follow up this link: rosplan_demos

Using ROSPlan's docker image

Get your docker image from the Docker Hub:

docker pull kclplanning/rosplan

Run an interactive bash shell inside the docker, ready to run ROSPlan:
