-====== Program structure ====== 
- 
-To provide a easy and modular programming of the robot, every device can be seperately started by a launch file.  
-They provide the startup setting whats neccessary 
- 
-Launch files for the actors and sensor devices: 
-  * Laserscanner (start_laserscanner.launch) 
-  * IMU (start_imu.launch) 
-  * Joystick (start_...) 
-  * Motorcontrollers 
-  * GPS 
- 
-Launch Files for setting up the position estimation of the robot (odometry, path estimation, etc.): 
-  * start_local_positioning.launch 
-  * start_global_positioning.launch 
- 
-Launch files for starting the basic control layers for following waypoints and avoid obstacles: 
-  * start_deterministic_control.launch 
-  * start_adaptive_control.launch 
- 
-Launch files for the decision layer, what decides what singals finaly goes to the motorcontrollers and some visualisation: 
-  * start_decision_layer.launch 
-  * start_visualisation.launch 
- 
-Under normal circumstances all launchfiles can be started with one command in a terminal: 
-<note>//roslaunch talos start_navigation.launch//</note> 
- 
-a detailed graph of all programmed nodes can be found in the next picture of the overall node graph... 
- 
-**Node graph:**

- 
-**Mission files** 
- 
-The robot navigation follow a 2D kartesian koordinate system. At outdoor navigation task we can use the  
-UTM Koordinate System to navigate. So the positions can be set by absolute coordinates in UTM. This is  
-sufficient for deterministic navigation.  
-But if we want to perform a special task at a certain point, some more information for success is neccessary! 
-This additional information could be: 
-  * how precice do the robot need to reach the "goal point" 
-  * how long should it stay there  
-  * does it need to wait for other tasks to accomplish (z.B. picking a fruit) 
-  * what to do if goal is unreachable 
-  * are some special control parameters neccessary  
-  * etc... 
-  * 
-typically these information can be provided by a .txt or .xml file, because of the easy way of programming and  
-uncomplicated change for different programmes.  
- 
-Example mission file (Mobotware): 
- 
-<mission> <route> 
-      <point 
-      utme="0" 
-      utmn="0" 
-      comment="Point1" 
-    />     
- <point 
-      utme="7.3103272608" 
-      utmn="-8.2351758052" 
-      speed="0.500" 
-      comment="Point2" 
-    /> 
-    <point 
-      utme="9.7020082594" 
-      utmn="-6.5281831669"

-    <point 
-      utme="2.4196230196" 
-      utmn="1.5525352387" 
-      comment="Point4" 
-    /> 
-    <point 
-      utme="4.51991709" 
-      utmn="3.5841530077" 
-      wait_until_task_ready="true" 
-      comment="Point5" 
-    /> 
-</route> </mission>
