Semantic navigation demo #1693
Description
good discussions on #1595 on semantic maps and navigation. We should have some goal demos to go along with it that mirror real-world needs
- Embed dock information and have a robot go to a dock staging point to engage a docking controller with BT
- Embed elevator information and using multi-floor information to enable a robot to navigate between floors (in practice, probably navigates to elevator, we operate elevator, and continues on new floor, unless someone has an API-enabled elevator we can use for a few hours)
- Embed regional information (living room, pickup zone 7, local park) to navigate to an area to complete a task ("bring me a beer to the living room" -> goes to the living room -> uses detectors to find you -> navigates beer to you)
- Waypoint navigation (follow waypoints in order of name, id, priority, whatever embedded)
- Routes / directional routes (define routes in a space as a directional or bidirectional graph and ask a robot to navigate to a location using these routes, like in a warehouse / factory setting)
- Speed zones / keep out zones (use mask capabilities to have a robot stay out of an area or limit speed in another area)
- Use relational semantic information to navigation (the couch and TV are in the region called "living room". Somehow use that information to create a demo)
CC @shrijitsingh99, you're welcome to propose more or modify any of these to some demo or need you have as well. These are just example to highlight the capabilities this should create
GUI for editing maps with these things
