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

$ cd ~/ros2_ws/src
$ git clone https://github.com/uleroboticsgroup/yasmin.git
$ cd ~/ros2_ws
$ rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y
$ cd ~/ros2_ws
$ colcon build

If you are using a deprecated ROS 2 distro (like Foxy or Galactic) or the Rolling distro, you have to install the tutorials and example interfaces:

$ sudo apt install -y ros-$ROS_DISTRO-action-tutorials-interfaces ros-$ROS_DISTRO-example-interfaces

Docker

If your operating system doesn't support ROS 2, docker is a great alternative. You can use an image from Dockerhub or create your own images. First of all, to build the image you have to use the following command:

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

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

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

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

$ 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 the docker run, you may use following command:

## Assuming you are in the YASMIN project directory
$ make docker_run

Demos

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

YASMIN Viewer

This viewer allows monitoring YASMIN's FSM. It is implemented with Flask and ReactJS. A filter is provided to show only one FSM.

Usage

$ ros2 run yasmin_viewer yasmin_viewer_node

http://localhost:5000/

Custom host and port

$ ros2 run yasmin_viewer yasmin_viewer_node --ros-args -p host:=127.0.0.1 -p port:=5032

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.",
