In rmf_demos
world, both TeleportDispenser
and TeleportIngestor
plugins act as workcell adapter nodes.
Workcells currently work alongside with Delivery Task. In fleet_adapter.lauch.xml
,
perform_deliveries
needs to be true
for the robot to accept a delivery task.
A Full Delivery:
- The robot will first move to the
pickup_waypoint
- Requests a
DispenserRequest
till receives aDispenserResult
. (Done Dispensing) - Continue delivery and moves to
dropoff_waypoint
- Requests a
IngestorRequest
till receives aIngestorResult
. (Done Ingesting)
