ROS layout
After a group discussing, we decided that our provisionally software layout will be as in the figure below.
The 'webcam vision' node processes the images, produced by the RGB-camera. It will publish if it detects an arrow and in what direction the arrow points. The 'LRF vision' node processes the data of the laser range finder. It will detect corners, crossroads and the distance to local obstacles. This will also be published to strategy. The 'strategy' node will decide, based on the webcam and LRF vision, what action should be executed (stop, drive forward, drive backward, turn left or turn right) and will publish this decision to the 'action handler' node. Finally, the 'action handler' node will send a message to the jazz-robot, based on the received task and on odometry data.
