Overview
Designed as an upgrade to the 2011 app manager used on turtlebots and pr2's.
Current Implementation
Features
The current version is a 0.7 version . It has the following features:
Advertises handles for /platform_info, /list_rapps, /status and /invite to external, gateway based ros systems.
When invited, it will flip /start_rapp and /stop_rapp services across to the ros system doing the inviting (the remote controller).
- Launches and manages a single rapp (robot/rocon app) at a single time.
Flips the rapp specified connections to the remote controller.
Advertised Services
These services are freely shared to any ros subsystem that wants to consume them via the gateway's advertise/pull mechanisms. The purpose is to provide introspection to the robot (i.e. the system that runs the app manager) to make a decision as to whether it wishes to assume control of the robot. Assuming control is managed by making a request to invite the robot.
platform_info (rocon_app_manager_msgs/GetPlatformInfo)
- Provide a description of the robot via a platform tuple.
- List apps that are available/installable on the robot.
- Status of the app manager (busy, idle, running an app or not).
- Request to assume control of the app manager (start_rapp, stop_rapp).
Controller Services
These services are only flipped after an invitation has been made.
start_rapp (rocon_app_manager_msgs/StartRapp)
- Start the requested rapp.
- Stop the requested rapp.
