YASMIN (Yet Another State MachINe)

YASMIN is a project focused on implementing robot behaviors using Finite State Machines (FSM). It is available for ROS 2, Python and C++.

ROS 2 Distro	Branch	Build status	Docker Image	Documentation
Foxy	`main`
Galatic	`main`
Humble	`main`
Iron	`main`
Jazzy	`main`
Rolling	`main`

Features

Fully integrated into ROS 2.
Available for Python and C++.
Fast prototyping.
Default states for ROS 2 action and service clients.
Blackboards are used to share data between states and state machines.
State machines can be canceled and stopped, which means stopping the current executing state.
A web viewer is included, which allows monitoring of the execution of the state machines.

Installation

# clone
$ cd ~/ros2_ws/src
$ git clone https://github.com/uleroboticsgroup/yasmin.git

# dependencies
$ cd ~/ros2_ws
$ rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y
$ cd src/yasmin
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

# colcon
$ cd ~/ros2_ws
$ colcon build

Docker

If your operating system doesn't support ROS 2 humble, docker is a great alternative. First of all, you have to build the project and create an image like so:

## Assuming you are in the correct project directory
$ docker build -t yasmin .

To use a shortcut, you may use the following command:

## Assuming you are in the correct project directory
$ make docker_build

After the image is created, run a docker container with the following command:

## Assuming you are in the correct project directory
$ docker run -it --net=host --ipc=host --privileged --env="DISPLAY" --env="QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1" --volume="/tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw" --volume="${XAUTHORITY}:/root/.Xauthority" --entrypoint /bin/bash yasmin

To use a shortcut, you may use following command:

$ make docker_run

Running the docker image

If you are in the docker image , this project is already sourced and the demo script can be run as the following command;

$ cd /root/ros2_ws/
$ ros2 run yasmin_demos yasmin_demo.py

Demos

There are some examples, for both Python and C++, that can be found in yasmin_demos.

abstract="State machines are a common mechanism for defining behaviors in robots where each behavior is based on identifiable stages. There are several libraries available for easing the implementation of state machines in ROS 1, however, the community was focused on SMACH or SMACC. Although these tools are still predominant, there are fewer alternatives for ROS 2. Besides, Behavior Trees are spreading fast, but there is a niche for using State Machines. Here, YASMIN is presented as yet another library specifically designed for ROS 2 for easing the design of robotic behaviors using state machines. It is available in C++ and Python, and provides some default states to speed up the development, in addition to a web viewer for monitoring the execution of the system and helping in the debugging.",
