Developing a demo for mobile robot navigation and capturing base on KubeEdge

[SmileCaoJ]

Background:
KubeEdge SIG Robotics focuses on the field of cloud robotics, especially the robot management system based on cloud-edge collaboration architecture. We hope to use open source mobile robot and robotic arm, provide a demo base on KubeEdge open source software components, and complete the following tasks:

1. Implement complete robotic applications, including key functions such as mobile navigation and robotic arm operation, and deploy them to simulation environments through KubeEdge
2. Defines the workflow for opening a cabinet door and capturing objects, including tasks such as navigation to a target point, opening a cabinet door, and capturing objects. The workflow should automatically executed by KubeEdge.

Output Requirements:
Deliverables:

1. Demo deployment and usage guide.
2. Code and configuration files .
3. End-to-end test cases.

Qualified Standard:

1. The robot is managed as node by kubeedge. Can use the simulation environment, such as a virtual machine with gazebo.
2. The robot applications of demo are deployed by kubeedge, and are running properly.
3. Automatically navigate to target points, open cabinet doors, and capture objects through workflows.

Are there any requirements for cabinet doors here? In addition, does the robot arm need to open only one cabinet door or any cabinet door? Thank you.

no special requirements for cabinet doors
robot arm need to open only one cabinet door
