Hey @shoemakerlevy9, cool project :slight_smile: In terms of the state machine, here are some resources that might be of interest: * SMACH tutorials: http://wiki.ros.org/action/show/smach/Tutorials * My fork of their hard-to-find source code: https://github.com/spmaniato/executive_smach_tutorials * FlexBE (Flexible Behavior Engine): [flexbe.github.io](http://flexbe.github.io) * Source code of its core: https://github.com/team-vigir/flexbe_behavior_engine * GitHub organization (states and GUI app): https://github.com/FlexBE * FlexBE is an extension of SMACH, but may or may not fit your use case. * I was somewhat involved in the development of FlexBE, so feel free to ask follow-up questions. * Boost Statechart (C++): http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_64_0/libs/statechart/doc/index.html * Steep learning curve but much faster and more expressive. --- [Visit Topic](https://discourse.ros.org/t/goose-chasing-robot/1651/2) or reply to this email to respond.
