ROSPlan Framework

The main ROSPlan website and documentation is available here.

The ROSPlan framework provides a generic method for task planning in a ROS system. ROSPlan encapsulates both planning and dispatch. It provides with a simple interface, and already includes interfaces to common ROS libraries.

Important note:

rosplan_demos are moved now to a separate repository, check the following pinned issue for details.
