Feature roadmap

[PaulVerhoeckx]

Hi,

I'm investigating the possibilities of rmf_core, and I'm impressed by the current status. Is there a roadmap available for the upcoming features/components?

Since RMF is still in an R&D phase where the exact requirements are regularly shifting around, we don't have a precise feature roadmap at the moment. Some upcoming high-level developments that we anticipate include:

• A turnkey free space planning library that's compatible with the traffic management utilities
• An intelligent lift (elevator) adapter that can optimally coordinate how robots share lifts (with each other and with humans)
• A reusable library for distributed (multi-fleet) task planning and live task management

However we cannot yet commit to when any of these features will be developed (or technically even if they will be developed, since requirements may change).

Closing as this is not an issue. To continue discussing this topic, please open a discussion.

Near-term roadmap is now available in the long form documentation here: https://osrf.github.io/ros2multirobotbook/roadmap.html

Feedback is welcome. Thanks!
