AS2_behavior library

Aerostack2 uses Behaviors to handle mission execution

Each behavior is separated in a behavior Server and a behavior client. They are similar to rclcpp actions but with some differences.

• Each behavior server only attends to a single goal (client) at each moment.
• Feedback is visible for all nodes
• They extend start, stop, and feedback with modify, pause, resume, and behavior state data.

We use ros2 services for:

• start
• modify (the same syntax than start)
• pause (std_srvs::srv::Empty)
• resume (std_srvs::srv::Empty)
• stop (std_srvs::srv::Empty)

We use ros2 topics for:

• Feedback
• State

We take advantage of ros2 action message definitions:

• Goal: will be used in start and modify services
• Feedback: Will be used in feedback
• Response: (Maybe in state, or in inmediate behaviors)

We difference between Inmediate, Recurrent and Regular (or goal oriented) behaviors:

• Inmediate: act like a service, they dont give Fb and cannot be paused or modified.
• Recurrent: they give feedback until they are stopped or paused.
• Goal Oriented: they keep runing until a termination condition is met.
