Description
The open-source Robot Operating System 2 (ROS 2) has been developed as an industrial-grade platform to standardize software development for robotics in manufacturing, bridging the gap between research and production. While frameworks for state machines, behaviour trees, and skill-based programming are currently favoured for robotics process programming in ROS2, they primarily target advanced autonomous systems, often adding unnecessary complexity to the programming of straightforward sequential tasks. In this paper, we address the need and present a concept for a simple, intuitive tool for sequential programming of ROS2-based ecosystems. We outline the essential features required for industrial applicability and present a prototypical implementation.
